Oh, I guess this is a duplicate post of sorts and the info you give here doesn’t correspond with the info you provide on your other post. Very confusing.

The broad answer is yes, if the PoA seems to think it is in the "best interests" of their charge, and the attorney is now the only DPoA and you have no PoA. A PoA is under no obligation to keep anyone "in the loop" about their charge. Although I'm confused, because one cannot "transfer" a PoA to another person without the involvement of your mother, who needs to be competent to do so.

If you can provide more information, it would be very helpful. Like, how did this change in authority occur exactly and why? Who is not receiving the petty cash (your mom? does she really need it?) And in terms of getting reimbursed for caregiving, if there is no written "employment" contract then family caregivers usually are not paid, and if you're purchasing necessities for your mom, yet you are not the PoA, all purchases need to be pre-approved by the FPoA in order to get reimbursement.

Geaton, if there is a successor POA then the primary resigns and this passes on the POA to the successor.

I don't understand your question, but yesterday your questions were all about the POA for your Mom violating their trust and duties and who you could report this to (tho you had already reported to some and it was adjudged that no action was appropriate).
Now we have accusations and worries over a corrupt attorney?
I think you need more help and other help than a forum can supply with these questions that are somewhat complicated. I suggest an attorney. You say you cannot afford that, but I would begin to save today to get that 350.00 or so for an hour of an elder law attorney's advice.
If there can be no money for an attorney and if all the resources of your town are not enough to guide you (APS, the District Attorney) then I am afraid this is something you will need to drop so as to move on with your life. Not everything has an answer. Not everything can be fixed.

I see now that the question has been cleaned up a bit, and if this is what you meant, that there is an actual question.
The new POA owes you no accounting whatsoever. They speak for and act for the principal, not for you, whatever your position is. The power, so to speak is now in the hands of the NEW POA.
There is no petty cash involved in the care of elders. In fact, the POA is responsible for accounting to the courts if asked to, and responsible for every penny in and every penny out of the elder's accounts.
If you are caring for an elder, and you have not enough money to do so, then you should resign that care; give notice to the POA and let that person know you do not have enough funds to get what you need for the elder.
