Question from Caring.com Community Member, Trudy

My father has been giving quite a substantial amount of money weekly to a grandaughter who he says is not able to work. We as an extended family know that is not entirely true. I have DPOA for my Father. What steps can I take to stop this? My Father lives entirely on his S.S. He seems competant in other areas, yet beleives the lies she tells him.
