Power Of Attorney

It has been troubling for me, in ministry, to witness how easy it is for people to obtain power of attorney over others. I have come across several cases where people were unaware that others had obtained power of attorney over their affairs, and were shocked and angered when they found out. In one case, a Church member discovered that her daughter kept her private bank statements in her drawer. She asked the bank how this was possible. They told her that her daughter had power of attorney. OBSERVATION: It generally happens when a person is in a weakened position: rent in arrears, an episode of depression, and so on. Seldom have I thought that it was justified.
