I have been taking care of my mom in her home that she is part owner of with my eldest sister. My sister wants to put us out of the home.
She and her daugther are attempting to put her and her daugther's name on the house. I have no income since I have been my mom's caregiver. They do not assist me with her care. I have been looking for at home jobs but no luck. Being my mom's caregiver has caused more heartbreak. My savings are gone during these 3 years. No one is her POA. It's 4 siblings. The eldest wants to be in charge but she was not doing a good job in taking care of my mother. The second eldest is not involved with me and the third eldest stays in another state and comes as much as she can and assists me with money for my basic needs.
I had POA because I lived in same town as Mom. Brother lived 8 hrs away. Other didn't care. I would and will never care for someone who I do not have POA for. I will not have someone else making the decisions when I am doing it all.
I really don't think ur sister has a leg to stand on. My brother inherited Moms house but didn't want it. So, we had to get a lawyer to draw up papers saying John was relinquishing his inheritance back to the estate. I know its not exactly the same thing but I don't think ur Sister can just walk into a lawyers office and say she wants Mom taken off the deed.
I suggest you call Office of Aging and ask them the phone number of Legal Aide. You can then find out ur rights. Also, if push comes to shove, call Adult protection services.
I really don't understand why family would feel justified is making another family member homeless. How did ur mother raise these people to be so heartless. You read on this forum all the time where things like this happen. I wish I had had more help. But, I was left to make the decisions and I wasn't told I made the wrong one.
Good Luck and stand up for ur rights.
How old is she?
How old are you?
What brought you to live with mom?
Is mom incapacitated?
I can also understand that when you have cared for your mother for three years, spent all your savings, and have no income and nowhere else to go; it seems downright cruel that your family just seem to want to get rid of you.
But I doubt if that's the whole story.
There are two important things:
1. Your mother. What are her care needs, and what does the whole family (especially your mother) want to do to make sure they are met?
2. If you weren't trapped at home caring for your mother, what would you do instead?
