She signed heirship affidavit.. she and her sister are the only two. Then put their mom in NH took away her phone. Says her mom's mind is way worse. Maybe even had Dr say this. Prior to this my husband was on everything. Oh did I say she split the money from home between herself and sister. Mom thinks she didn't make anything. Wasn't a lot but on title contract said sales price was "cash & other things of value"?? And title co. agrees was worth the value? Then it is selling for twice as much. All seems wacky to me. Please help if you know what to do. I don't want her to more her and it's not fair to their mom most of all. That is her money!

You posted this under elder law. This is an individual elder law legal situation. You need to see an attorney with all the facts in the case to be advised.

As Alva suggested the help you need can only come from hiring an attorney who is experienced/specializes in elder financial abuse. Laws vary by state, and this is a global forum. Any "legal" or "financial" guidance you get here comes with risk of being incorrect and no accountability if it is. You must take all your hard evidence to the attorney and s/he will tell you if you have a winnable case. It will cost money to pursue. If you're trying to minimize the cost to you by getting "free" advice on this forum, you will pay a higher price in risk of taking the advice of anonymous people in the absence of many critical details. Please consult with an attorney who practices in your MOTHER'S state of residence where all of this took place. I wish you success in acting in her best interests.

I agree, you may need to consult with a lawyer. Have as much information as you can available.

Who is paying for Moms care? If Medicaid, they must not have been told there was a sale of a house involved. The proceeds were not put in Moms account because Medicaid would have questioned a large amount going in and out of her account. Also, they require a house be sold at Market value and those proceeds need to be spent down for Moms care before Medicaid would pay.

So intentionally or not this sister has frauded State government. And as such will be responsible to pay for Moms care or care for her herself until the penalty period is met.

If Mom was formally diagnosed before all this with Dementia and found incompetent to make informed decisions, then everything sister did was illegal. Your husband could not be removed as POA because Mom would not be capable to assign someone else.

This country is in a price war when it comes to housing. The house next to me sold for 185k. The asking price was 175k. The previous owner bought it for 90k 2 yrs before. No big work was done on it.
