Texas Powers of Attorney and Limited Powers of
Attorney
Under
Texas law, a person can give another person authority under
a power of attorney to conduct business for them. This
is often done when a person does not want to handle or
cannot handle business themselves. Such circumstances
include when a person is traveling out of the country for a
long period of time; has become ill or weakened and does not
want to deal with financial affairs; is becoming
incompetent or incapacitated; or has too much business to
deal with and needs assistance handling different
transactions.
There are
limited powers of attorney and full powers of attorney.
Common powers that are conveyed through a power of attorney
are as follows:
-
Real
property transactions
-
Tangible
personal property transactions
-
Stock
and bond transactions
-
Commodity and option transactions
-
Banking
and other financial institution transactions
-
Business
operating transactions
-
Insurance and annuity transactions
-
Estate,
trust, and other beneficiary transactions
-
Claims
and litigation
-
Personal
and family maintenance
-
Benefits
from social security, Medicare, Medicaid, or other
governmental programs or civil or military service
-
Retirement plan transactions
-
Tax
matters
Texas Springing Powers of Attorney
The
Springing Power of Attorney springs forth when a person
becomes incapacitated or incompetent. This type of
power of attorney is a good idea for people that have
businesses or business matters that may require immediate
attention in the event some incident makes them
incapacitated. This allows the person to designate
another person that can step up and handle financial affairs
in the event of a unforeseen health problem.
This power
of attorney like any other should only be given to someone
that is trusted and that will do as the person wants.
This is because that the person who gave the power of
attorney to another person is legally bound by the person
that has the power of attorney.
Duty to Act in Best Interest and Duty to Keep
Accurate Records under a Power of Attorney
The person
holding a power of attorney has the duty to act in the best
interest of the person they are holding a power of attorney
for as well as to keep accurate records of their actions
while using the power of attorney. Failure to comply
with these duties can result in a breach of fiduciary duty
lawsuit against the person holding the power of attorney.
Austin Texas
Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawsuits and Misuse of a Power of
Attorney
Under
Texas law, a person that has given a power of attorney to
another person or persons can file a lawsuit if the person
or persons have abused the power of attorney and have
negligently lost or intentionally stolen property from the
person for which they hold the power of attorney.
These fraudulent or negligent abuse of powers of attorney or
a power of attorney claims are called breach of fiduciary
duty lawsuits.
All too
often people holding powers of attorney realize that they
have access to another person's money, property, and assets,
then begin to rationalize that the money, property, and
assets are really their own or that they have a claim on
some or all of the money, property, or assets. When
this happens, it is typically a short time before this
person starts to take money, property, or assets that are
not their own and abuse the power of attorney.
If someone
holds a power of attorney for you and that person has negligently lost or intentionally stolen
your money, property, or assets; it is important to hire a Texas Negligent
or Fraudulent Power of Attorney Abuse Lawyer that can help
you rightfully reclaim your money, property, or assets.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawsuits
There are
several types of breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits under
Texas law. These lawsuits stem from special duties
that implied by Texas law. One example of these breach
of fiduciary duty lawsuits is discussed above and is implied
to people that hold powers of attorney for another person.
Other potential breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits include
guardians, executors, administrators, agents, attorneys,
accountants, and brokers. Feel free to
contact Texas Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyer Jason Coomer,
if you have a question about a Texas breach of fiduciary
duty claim that you might have.
Texas Guardian Fraud
Lawyer & Guardian Mismanagement
Guardians
also
have a duty under Texas probate law to properly manage and
distribute an estate for a ward. Guardians that mismanage an
estate of a Ward can have a breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit
filed against them to reclaim any money or other assets that
were mismanaged or stolen. Guardians that commit fraud
or negligently lose or destroy assets in an estate can be
held responsible under Texas law for wrongful acts.
