Should the mother be convinced to cancel the power of attorney for the second apartment, bearing in mind that the father might act erratically, in order to avoid the family becoming homeless and to preserve the parents' stability, especially since the father does not care for the family and spends money irresponsibly?

If it is a power of attorney from the father to the mother for the management of the two apartments, then the father has the right to revoke it whenever he wishes. However, if it was a gift to the mother and she took possession of it, then he is not allowed to retract it, and the mother has the right to dispose of them. In this case, it is advised to involve people of good will to convince the father not to retract his gift. It is not permissible to prevent the father from disposing of what he owns unless his imprudence is proven by a judge's ruling. This is while reminding of the great right of parents and the obligation to honor them.
