My father is moving to sr living. She decided to rent his house out with out including my brother and i on the decision. This could cause tax issues for my Dad. He's not understanding whats happening. Who do I call? I'm in Illinois and he lives in Iowa.
POAs usually have to show their paperwork to people who have reason to ask for it - OK, maybe not always to siblings - but a POA who is not living up to their responsibilities as laid out in the document can be removed. OTOH, it may give her leeway and she may be acting within her rights; then, only a good faith appeal to the risk of future problems will change her course. The problem is if she wrecks the funding options, probably the whole family will be needing to pitch in later.
You could ask APS to investigate since the plan seems to have aspect of financial exploitation. If not, I think you will need legal counsel.
I see that your sister believes that your Dad needs a higher level of care and plans to place him in senior living. There is nothing wrong with that. There does come a time where an elder needs more care than a grown child can handle, like 24-hour watch. Hiring care givers to work 168 hours a week is very expensive, and would wipe out a retirement fund pretty quickly. With senior living, your Dad would be around people of his own age group.
What do you feel is wrong with renting out Dad's house? Sounds like a good idea to get income to help pay for his senior care. Or do you think it would be better to sell the house now and put that money in Dad's savings to help pay for his senior living?
She is well within her rights. She doesn't have to get your permission or anyone else's unless the POA limits her in some way. Unlikely.
It's sooo EZ for people far away to critique the one doing the heavy lifting. Your dad trusted her enough to assign her. Let it be.
