While I had my mom POA I got 2 cashiers checks made out to my mom and also my name as a POA. I just went to court and my sister is was awarded the temp custodial until next court date. I turned the cashiers checks over to the court. Through the grapevine my sister is threatening to file criminal charges against me for elder care abuse. Can you shed some light please on this.
Court would be an absolute last resort!
Did you and your sister discuss the reasons behind the cashier's checks? Did she have any suggestions for better ways to handle things? Did you get into a big argument?
Do you come from a dysfunctional family?
Do you have a long history of a bad relationship with this sister?
Maybe, possibly, as an absolute last resort if we could not resolve the issues by discussions within the family and I really feared Mom's best interests where at risk, maybe then I'd reluctantly go to court, or APS. But I don't see that as a normal first reaction in a loving family.
So, help us understand the background of your situation. Maybe someone will have some insight in how to resolve this.
How soon is the next court date? Do you have an attorney for this court appearance? Is Sister trying to obtain Guardianship?
As Ahmijoy suggested we'll need more details before discussing this with you.
