Can my husbands aunt get power of attorney over my husband without our consent? She wants to force him into rehab

Question

Can my husbands aunt get power of attorney over my husband without our consent? She wants to force him into rehab



Answer

No. Power of Attorney is a voluntary thing. It cannot ever be imposed. However, a similar proceeding, called a conservatorship, can be involuntarily imposed if warranted under applicable law. Whether she could succeed in getting an involuntary conservatorship would depend on the exact facts and details of the situation.
