Contested Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney is a document that grants legal authority to another party (agent). By executing a power of attorney, an individual can give the agent the authority to make legal decisions on his/her behalf. These decisions can involve financial and property matters.

The execution of a power of attorney, while often essential and useful, can carry risks. A power of attorney in the wrong hands can be abused through self dealing, embezzlement and other mishandling of funds.

With 30 years of practice in this area of the law, Donald Novick and his team has extensive experience litigating the issues of abuse and misuse of powers of attorney. We have litigated such abuse on the grounds of irregularity during the execution of the power of attorney, undue influence, incompetence and the misuse of authority granted in the power of attorney.
