Q
I just learned that my elderly mother signed a reverse mortgage while I was her agent under a durable power of attorney. Is there anything I can do?

If you believe your mother was not competent to make decisions on her own or was hoodwinked, there may be steps you can take to reverse the transaction, but they have nothing to do with the durable power of attorney being in place (except that it gives you the power to act on your mother’s behalf now).
