My mother is ill. And my half sister has power of attorney. Without consulting her, my stepfather and his daughter took quit claim forms with a notary and made my mother sign them. She stated to the notary that she did not want to sign them but against her will and lack of councel she did. She is very upset. The step father is not disclosing any information other than they are trying to protect his interest.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Now as she has quitclaimed it will be a bit difficult to get it back. But the fact that she was not well when he signed the deed and she also did not want to quitclaim, so you can prove that it is not a valid deed.

Contact with an attorney ASAP

Feel free to ask if you have any farther questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

You have not posed a question. Generally, a power of attorney only allows you to act on someone's behalf. It is not control over the person's decisions. You must be appointed Guardian for that.

Executing a deed against one's will invalidates that deed. You can go to court to invalidate a deed. Check with a local real estate attorney.
