Sister has POA and in charge of everything but she wants to build herself a house on land deeded to her and use moms money to do it when there is 2 other siblings. She says it's what her mom would want and she says it for the whole family but mom doesnt have much time left due to stroke and incapable of speaking or making decisions. Can she legally spend money out of bank account to benefit herself while mom is still alive.
She can take a huge amount of money (must be tens or hundreds of thousands) to build HERSELF a house while her siblings get nothing? Well isn't that nice.....and illegal!
What about a will or the inheritance of the other siblings?
I'd turn her little butt in to an elder attorney and the police if she got anywhere near the bank.
I guess her attitude is to h*ll with everybody else, I'm getting what I want. And your mother hasn't even passed yet! 😡
That really pisses me off!
Grrrrrr
Robin0706,
No. Your sister can't legally spend your mom's money on herself with your mom in a nursing home. That money belongs to your mother.
I will fill my gas tank if I'm doing a lot of running around for my mom. She may even pay for a cold drink and sandwich if the errands last all day. Period. Everything else is for her.
As Mom's POA myself, this sense of "entitlement" for self profit while the elder is still living, just pushes all my "hot" buttons.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG....both legally and ethically....
Contact an attorney specializing in elder law if necessary.
Must be gremlins in cyberspace acting out again.
And if Mom is using Medicaid, Medicaid will want their share to help pay for Mom's care.
