Honestly, having family with dementia and similar memory problems it isn’t as clear cut. People really try hard to stretch the incapability for their gain sometimes. A family member tried to claim a specific thing with little monetary value that was given away was given away in a state in which our demented family member wasn’t able to act properly. This led to years of court battle.
In the case that is presented here I could imagine unlawful action, but I can as easily think that OP’s parent and the tenant had a different relation and were actually fine with signing stuff over. People are emotional when they get older sometimes.
Maybe, but definitely not guaranteed. If you give someone power of attorney you can usually still override their decisions – they can act in your place, but so can you. You’d have to look at the specifics of the power of attorney, how incapacitated the dad actually is, then whether you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the tenant knew the guy was cooked and was taking advantage of him (and even that might not be enough).
Unless there’s an angle I’m missing that tenants going to jail.
