She did have trouble signing checks. So she ask me to please sign her checks and I only used her money for her bill.. Now I am paying her bills myself, which I don't mind. She has great insurance. I make all her appt. w/doctors and my brother and sister-n-law kicked her out in the middle of the night over a tract of land which my mother bought and she gave my brother 1/2 undivided interest and me too. I am her POA now and she wants my brother out of her will. My brother as a criminal record as do I. They are both very old. I am a professional woman and my brother is disabled and has a wife whom is (according) to her doctors as a mental patient and my brother has a mental Impairment. What can I do now? I need to protect my mother and she does not ever want to see them or talk to them every. She took them out of her will against my wishes. But she cannot get over the fact they kicked her out!! I don't have guardianship, I only have POA.
What is your question?
In addition, you state that you are "her POA now"; were you holding that position when you signed her checks?
Is the land/house already deeded to your Mother, you, and your brother? Sounds that way. Or do you mean when your Mother passes on that you will get 1/2 of the land/house and your brother will get the other half of the land/house?
Your brother is suing for 100% of the land/house? Or suing for his share thinking the Will had been changed?
This is also confusing, in your original posting you wrote " I am her POA now", then you wrote your daughter is her grandmother's POA.
Yikes, I am stressed out just reading all this. Best to tell your Mom the attorney is working it all out, don't worry about it any more. Don't talk about it. Only time to bring it up is if the attorney needs more information that he needs from your Mom.
As for the funeral, you can cross that bridge when the time comes. Again, reassure or redirect your Mom. Realistically, how would you keep them out if they showed up, hire a bouncer? It's not worth stressing over something that may never happen.
