My son is incarcerated and gave power of attorney to his girlfriend so that she could put money in his account at the El Paso County jail. He was receiving approximately $150 a month from VA benefits. The VA approved a backpay settlement and it came to over $10,000. The girlfriend started taking money at a fast rate for unknown and unauthorized reasons. He was in the process of changing the Power of Attorney to me, his mother. I live in Indiana which has made this extremely difficulty. He has since been moved on 2 occasions and has not had the opportunity to get the new POA notarized. The bank is not allowing me to freeze the account. What was once over $10,000 she has dwindled to around $4,000. What can we do to stop her. I think she might also have sold his vehicle and bought another in her name.
This is a very serious problem. There are a couple of avenues to protect your son's money and to recover from the girlfriend if she is indeed abusing her authority by stealing from your son.
