More details to this question:
My grandma is 78, and it's debatable if she's "mentally incompetent" and her power of attorney is her daughter(my aunt). My dad wants to borrow some money from my grandma, but has to go through my aunt. So I'm just wondering, can my aunt deny the loan on behalf of my grandma even though my grandma said yes, and is aware of the impact on her finances?

difficult issue. the issue is whether she is mentally incompetent. perhaps the family can get an opinion letter from her doctor.
