He doesnt want her at his house. She is Diabetic and waiting to have a 2nd kidney operation once the doctors clear her for the surgery. She needs care for some things. Needs a wheel chair/walker to get around but can do most things to care for herself. Her son is saying shes not able to care for herself and that is not TRUE. She wants to hire a lawyer to take away the Power of Attorney from her son. He is using her income for his own means and that was never the plan. She doesnt know anyone in Murray who can help her????

Assuming that you are correct that your friend is mentally capable, your friend should contact an attorney immediately. There are a number of options available to your friend to attempt to cease any further abuses of the power of attorney, a well as holding the offender liable for any wrongful actions. Additionally, she can serve a revocation upon the holder of the power of attorney, as well as upon such entities as her bank, financial services, or others.
She should move quickly, and find an attorney to assist.
