Asked on Jul 23rd, 2020 on Wills and Probate - Maryland
More details to this question:
My mother is my grandmother's power of attorney. My aunt has lived in the residence since before my grandmother became incapacitated. Her son is trying to clean the house and is removing and donating some of my grandmother's property (clothes and shoes); so he and and his pregnant girlfriend can move in rent free. Can my mother legally prevent them from moving in; or can she establish that they live there if they all pay rent?

The agent under a Durable Power of Attorney generally has the authority to make financial decision in the best interest of the person granting it, including allowing or not allowing someone to sign a lease and pay rent, evicting them if they do not, etc.
