Is Power of Attorney the Help You Need?
If you are dealing with power of attorney issues, you may ask:
- What are my legal responsibilities as a power of attorney?
- How do I address concerns about misuse or abuse of power?

A power of attorney is a critical legal tool for managing financial and personal care matters when someone cannot do so themselves. However, it can also lead to disputes and abuse. Hamilton Legal Group LLP is here to help you navigate these challenges.
Understanding Power of Attorney
Powers of attorney grant individuals the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person. Common issues include:
- Disputes Over Authority
Family members may disagree about who should act as the power of attorney or how they exercise their authority. - Abuse of Power
Concerns about financial mismanagement or neglect of the grantor’s best interests often lead to legal action. - Revocation or Replacement
Changes in circumstances may require revoking or appointing a new power of attorney.
