Did sis have permission to remove the items? Was there any discussion as to what would happen to dads property when it was removed?


You might get some assistance from the police. If she is retaining control of dads property without permission, she is guilty of conversion. The police may also simply say it is a civil matter. If so, you are relegated to suing sis for the return of the items.

How do you proceed?

Unless you can produce evidence of your ownership of the goods, you can't proceed.

Plus you can be assured that under these circumstances the cops won't lift a finger off of a doughnut, regardless of who proceeds.

Why can't she proceed? Doesn't her POA give her this right?

Good luck

Has the POA been paying the monthly rental fees, or reimbursing sis for those fees?

If you had a modicum of knowledge of the law of agency you wouldn’t ask that stupid question. And I'm not inclined to try to educate you. I'll try to clean up after you, but that's it!
