DM and her partner are in their sixties and live overseas. I have Power of Attorney for my DM in the UK but not overseas. They are considering giving POA to their solicitor in the country they live in. Doesn't this mean he could actually sell their property or do anything else within their knowledge? I'm just worried that if he's not a good guy he could take advantage. I don't know if I can have POA in another country. Does anyone know anything about this? Am I worrying unnecessarily? My DM is too trusting and tells me he's a lovely guy and very handsome, like that somehow makes it ok!
