Yep very true in our culture we have to respect the elders. So we don't try to argue with her. But she say bad stuff about us for no reason. She always shout at him and blames him for not having kids. Sorry on phone very hard to type with auto word on sorry0

Who is the 'us' in 'has given us a power of attoney. ' ?
Why would it go to a grandchild over three 'children' and a wife ?
Doesn't POA only have effect when the donor actually lacks capacity ?0 -
It might be possible to contact social services and express your concern that he needs protection as a vulnerable person. However, the outcome is not certain, particularly if he does not have a diagnosis. But its worth trying.
I'd be more concerned about his mental and physical health rather than what happens to a house he's lived in/paid towards when I already have three.0 -
The grandad has a power of attorney for his house abroad and a list of entitlements for his three kids. I have to check at home if it says anything about the UK house. Is the power of attorney stronger then a will?.0

A power of attorney will cease on the death of the donor. Xx0

Do you mean he has Power of Attorney listed in a foreign country? Or one listed in the uk, but only for anything relating to foreign property?0
