So my GPA is on hospice I'm caring for him and he lives in my home. Does she legally have a right as his POA to come on to my property without my permission? She comes and goes and helps herself to whatever she wants. Is this legal? Also her husband comes into our garage and even though grandpas things and cars are in there, it's still on our property. Do they have the right to do this even if we don't want them there?

Mother lives with MPOA and he acts like a prison warden. A couple of years ago he banned me from coming to see mother and he said everything I did to help her caused him too much work to undo. (Gave no examples. All I was doing was coming in weekly and cleaning).
Appealing to the FPOA to have MPOA brother simply allow me to come into his home to VISIT mother fell on deaf ears. Dr. No-shot, I call him, wouldn't stick up for me.
I didn't steal anything from them. All mom's stuff is hers until she dies, and I am fully ware of that.
People need to understand what POA actually entails. To my MPOA brother it means he is in charge of mom. She even refers to him and his wife as her 'jailers'.
After more than 2 years of having to pick mom up on the SIDEWALK b/c I was not allowed on the property, mother finally grew a set and told brother it was too dangerous for her to navigate the stairs, front walk and driveway to get to my car. He relented a little. I can sometimes come in the house.
There are 2 sides to every story, for sure. A better way to approach this is not with bringing in the police first. Talk to family and let them know what your responsibilities as POA ARE.
Lock it up, my dear. Keep your garage door down at all times and lock any man doors out there. Keep all doors in your house locked. If she comes to the door unannounced, you know what she’s there for. Tell her grandpa is resting, walk away and if she doesn’t leave, call the police. I would not let them into your home. By allowing her access to your home, you are condoning her behavior. Nice weather is here. If she insists on seeing him, have him sit outside and she can visit with him there for a few minutes. If she needs to use the facilities, do you have a corner gas station?
If you allow them free reign in your house, you know they’re going to steal grandpa’s things. So don’t.
Sheesh!
I am sorry that you are going through this at this difficult time. May peace be with you and your gpa.
