Barqs heir back on speaking terms with son after lawsuit settled

"Lou Ella Barq claimed in the lawsuit she was in financial straits because her son used a power of attorney she’d granted him after her husband’s death to gain access to her assets and take almost $1.3 million." Glad to see that this dispute ended (somewhat) amicably, but for many families that is not always the case. Granting someone a power of attorney can prevent a lot of future difficulties, but it is important to understand just how much power you are giving them before signing.
