What are contested powers of attorney?

Contested powers of attorney involve legal disputes over the validity or execution of a power of attorney document, often due to concerns about the principal's intentions or allegations of misuse by the agent.

When do contested powers of attorney arise?

Contested powers of attorney typically arise when there are disagreements about the agent’s actions, suspicions of abuse or fraud, or doubts about the principal’s capacity when the document was executed.

How can a lawyer help with contested powers of attorney?

A lawyer can assist by providing legal advice, representing your interests in court, gathering and presenting evidence, and working to ensure that the principal’s true intentions are respected and upheld.

What should I consider before contesting a power of attorney?

Before contesting a power of attorney, consider the evidence supporting your concerns, the potential impact on family relationships, and the legal complexities involved. Consulting with an experienced attorney can help clarify your options and guide you through the process.
