reader, anonymous, writes (31 March 2021): As long as your friend remains married to her husband, his family comes as part of the package. If her sister-in-law has power of attorney; that doesn't give her power over your friend's marriage. The woman doesn't own them! She can sign documents or act on behalf of her disabled brother. If she doesn't like that arrangement, she can get a lawyer and fight it.
If your friend insists on letting the woman run roughshod over her marriage and family; then the stronger personality prevails.
If she's scared of the woman; or intimidated because she's has POA her husband's income and personal-affairs; then she giving the woman more power than she really has. The woman can't tell her what to do; your timid friend just doesn't know how to deal with people who have a stronger personality than she does.
Her family-affairs are really not your business; I know you want to be a good friend. Your friend is scared of her SIL; that's her problem to deal with. She has the option to get a divorce. If you get too personally involved in your friend's family-affairs; I'm pretty sure her sister-in-law will put you in your place.
It is what it is, and you'll just have to leave it up to your friend to grow a backbone and deal with it.
