Even a guardian can only restrict visitors to those who have not abused or exploited the person. In some states heirs can ask the court to look into the behavior of an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney. You may want to contact a local elder law attorney. You can find one on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
