So the attorney drew up the poa and it's your sister that holds it. What you need now is a caregiving contract, which should also be drawn up by the lawyer, which stipulates how much mom pays you each month for room, board and caregiving.

What you can do is go back to the attorney and work up contracts, and send your sister your bills for the contract. Sister does not have the authority to refuse to pay Mother's expenses out of Mother's funds.

To continue to accept this is a disservice to your mother.

You mother should be paying her own way in your house. She should at least be paying room and board, and, depending on her resources, perhaps she should be paying something additional for her care.

When you say that sister is "sole executive" do you mean she has POA? What is her legal authority here?

I suggest you consult an attorney specializing in Elder Law, and draw up reasonable personal care and/or room and board contracts. Spell out what you provide and what you are charging. Have the attorney write a letter to your sister explaining the financial facts of life.

A nursing home would cost MUCH more than anything you are likely to charge. Is there something else going on here? Does Sister think you aren't doing a good job caring for Mom?
