I had POA of my nephew a year and half ago. He went to visit his aunt for a few weeks. His mother was incarcerated and said she revoked my POA and signed it over to a boyfriend. I never received any calls or paperwork of this revocation. My nephew never ended up going with this other individual as I did not allow him to. Nothing else ever came of it.
Hello **** ****, could you please tell me your location? The laws regarding Power of Attorney (POA) can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
Yes
I'm sorry, ****, but I didn't catch your location. Could you please provide it?
