POWER OF ATTORNEY DISPUTES AND LITIGATION UNDER TEXAS LAW
While the content of Mark's paper is as yet unpublished, the Texas lay public would do well to visit the firm's informational page on power of attorney disputes under Texas law at http://www.dallasprobateattorneys.com/power-of-attorney-disputes/. This page explains that many people in Texas are serving, or will serve, as attorney-in-fact for a friend or family member at some point. The fiduciary relationship created by a Durable Power of Attorney or Medical Power of Attorney is one of the most common fiduciary relationships that can be encountered, yet it is the one that is the most often abused. A Durable Power of Attorney is a written instrument that authorizes a third party to manage someone else’s financial affairs. This instrument remains effective even if the person signing the instrument becomes disabled or incompetent after signing it, thus making it “durable.” Durable Powers of Attorney present numerous potential disputes that play out in the probate courts. In the most common factual scenario, a parent has given one child a power of attorney to manage the parent’s financial affairs. The child may become secretive about his or her actions, or engage in suspicious transactions without the parent’s consent or authority. Many cases like this will involve other friends or family members expressing concerns about the Attorney-in-fact acting improperly. It should be noted that anyone facing a possible dispute over power of attorney in the Dallas, Texas, area is well-advised to reach out for a confidential consultation with an attorney.
