Celebrity psychic granted power of attorney over woman who believes she is Madeleine McCann

The celebrity psychic that's been helping Julia Wendell has been granted power of attorney over the 21-year-old. Dr Fia Johansson has been assisting the Polish woman, who believes she is the missing Brit girl Madeleine McCann.

Taking to her Instagram story to officially announce the news, Dr Johansson said: "Today I got Julia’s power of attorney. I legally and officially can decide Julia’s living and her health and welfare. Good news for Julia’s fans and followers. Bad news for people who can’t use her anymore."

The private investigator previously claimed that people had been trying to scam Julia who also goes by the name of Julia Faustyna or Julia Wandelt. She confirmed that police are investigating the online trolls as Julia awaits her DNA results which will confirm or deny her suspicions that she is missing Maddy, who vanished in 2007 at the age of three while on holiday in Portugal, the Mirror reports.

A power of attorney is a written authorisation to represent or act on another person's behalf in regards to private affairs, business or legal matters. The 21-year-old recently appeared on US talk show Dr Phil to discuss her suspicions about her true identity.

During the interview, Julia revealed she only has one memory from her early childhood which is of her being by a beach and the sea. Addressing the audience, Dr Phil said: "What she remembers is eerily similar to the place where Madeleine McCann was last seen alive."

Julia added: "I have some single memories since eight, nine years old. And before eight, I have only this one memory with beach and water, like sea or ocean, and there were turtles and children trying to catch the turtles and take them in their hands. And I remembered light-coloured buildings, like white or very light colours, sunlight on this building."

Her family are said to be heartbroken about Julia's claims and insist that Julia is their biological child. The young woman heard a statement from her parents who said they have been left 'devastated at this current situation'.

However, Julia appeared unfazed as she remained adamant that she is Madeleine and does not want contact with her family. She stated: "I believe I am Madeleine McCann. If she is my mother, I don’t want to have contact with her that’s all, but I believe she isn’t my mother."
