It's very unlikely that your sibling has any obligation to speak to you, unless you are aware of a legal obligation you're not disclosing. In the absence of same, they are entitled to ignore you, or send a representative of their choosing.I have a difficult sibling that I'm trying to reason with, and he's stated he has elected his daughter as his attorney and wants to daughter to attend instead of him.
Again, we don't really have much in the way of context here, but based on the information provided there is no reason why your brother can't send anyone he chooses to represent him, with or without a PoA. PoA would be required if you wanted the representative to enter into a legally binding contract at the time, but you haven't suggested that is the case.But I'm just asking about power of attorney and added in the rest, for context. I don't believe him for one minute btw, and when I say he's tricky, I'm being kind.
He's under no obligation to prove a PoA exists here. There is no legal obligation to speak to a sibling,So just go along with it and ask to see the signed PoA & confirm what authority the offspring has to make decisions on his behalf.
I'd disagree.He's under no obligation to prove a PoA exists here.
But the OP has said that the conversation is to be a casual one, and 'on matters that have nothing to do with the donor's property or financial matters and affairs.'I'd disagree.
If there are decisions to be made or documents to be signed by this person's appointed attorney, then due diligence requires that the OP has a copy of the PoA.
Wow!Again, we don't really have much in the way of context here, but based on the information provided there is no reason why your brother can't send anyone he chooses to represent him, with or without a PoA. PoA would be required if you wanted the representative to enter into a legally binding contract at the time, but you haven't suggested that is the case.
Again, lacking context and much of the detail, a sibling rounding up the rest of the family to have a talk with the 'tricky' one sounds like potentially controlling and manipulative behaviour.
He's under no obligation to prove a PoA exists here. There is no legal obligation to speak to a sibling,
As I said, we don't have all the facts, the only thing we had to go on was one person looking to force their sibling into a conversation it seemed they wanted no part in.Wow!
Controlling and manipulative? I've said at the start, I'm trying to reason with him. I could do without having to deal with him at ALL, let alone trying to control or manipulate him.
You might think it's baloney, and it may well be. Perhaps she does have PoA, perhaps she doesn't, it actually doesn't matter. He's under no obligation whatsoever to have a conversation he doesn't want to have, if you push on having one, he's entitled to send anyone he wants to represent his interests, PoA or no PoA.He declined to join and specifically said BECAUSE his daughter has Power of Attorney he wanted her involved. I think it's baloney, giving this reason to get her involved and personally I think she has enough on her plate as well.
Indeed, but the OP is equally entitled to decline.He's under no obligation whatsoever to have a conversation he doesn't want to have, if you push on having one, he's entitled to send anyone he wants
