I recently found a letter verifying the above. Apparently this took place 3 years ago.
I do Not have Dementia, have my own independent living apt in a Senior Living Facility due to circumstances that were beyond my control & have been trying to make the best of it.
is this a Legal issue?
Please advise.
Thank you .Js

This all sounds a bit confused and confusing because any case manager would know this cannot be done, but to answer your question--yes, this is a legal issue. You should go to an Attorney with the proof you found that your son was somehow appointed as your POA/caregiver.
A POA can only be given by YOU, yourself. Not by anyone else.
If you are competent, then take this POA to your attorney and withdraw the POA if you do not wish you son to be POA. Be certain you appoint a WILLING and COMPETENT and able substitute in his place. You will then send a notice to all banking, stock, etc entities letting them know your prior POA is withdrawn and that the new one is named.

This is a horrific job. I did it. If this person is keeping records and paying bills, this is a tough job.

Let your son/POA know that you are withdrawing POA at once.
You will be examined for competency by the attorney.
Tell your son who he should hand over all records to date to after the new POA is in place.
