[WSBAPT] POA question

[George Edensword-Breck]

You don’t indicate what other relatives are in the picture, but whether there are any or not, this seems like a good TEDRA action situation..

Subject: [WSBAPT] POA question

Hello-

Looking for practical, as well as legal, input on a situation.

Acquaintance is POA for her incompetent stepfather. Acquaintance is moving into a larger home, which has extra room, and would like to move her stepfather in so he can be in closer contact with the family. She plans to charge him rent, but is nervous about doing so, because she would be writing the rent checks to herself.

It seems to me that this must come up routinely- although it hasn’t with any of my clients. Can a family member who is the agent ethically charge rent to the person for whom she is the fiduciary? If so, what precautions are best taken?

I’d appreciate any thoughts!
