After taking care of my dad for 13 years, my sister kidnapped him and will not let me see or speak to him. She took over his accounts that he had his and my name on. He gave me his house but now she is trying to evict me and turned off my utilities. I have POA and her name isn't on any of the accounts and she has not lifted a finger to help me this whole time, except having him over her house a few times this last year. Is there anything I can do?
A note: never make bank accounts jointly owned or put an elder's house in your name. This not only evokes anger and suspicion in family members (causing them to do things like THIS) but more importantly, it affects qualification for Medicaid which might be needed down the line.
A qualified attorney is your best resource right now.
Blessings,
Shelley
