I'm my parents DPOA - I function totally in that capacity for my mother who has early dementia..however, my father thinks that he can handle his own affairs - and to be honest, his mind is not as my mothers..however, I'm concerned about how he continually writes large checks to his granddaughter(who's unemployed) and its done in a way unbeknowing to me (so they think)
If I understood the responsibility of a Agent DPOA - he can do just that, write those checks, and does not need me to intervine , in many ways he knows what he is doing, and he feels its HIS money- trying to advise him when it comes to his money is out of the question. I just don't want to be challenged somewhere down the line that I didn't do my job as DPOA - but my performance as DPOA comes into play ONLY when they are incapacitated correct?
Thanks for all answers

Be very care when having this discussion with your father. He could also change his POA if provoked enough. Then you could open a whole new can of worms. Good luck to you.
