My sister & i cleared out our parents home to have public sale of furnishings.My sister has POA. I want to see the prices gotten. May I see?
I've asked her for a copy, but she ignores me. IS SHE OBLIGATED TO SHOW ME as I am a daughter too? I know my parents would want me to see, too. They always kept us equal.
Are ur parents still "with it". Then ask them. As POA she has to tell them what is going on. If not "with it", then as POA she does not have to reveal anything. You could ask for an accounting if you feel parents money is not being used for them. But u may need a lawyer for that.
And if it's not a rude question, is it actually any of your business? Why do you want to know?
You can certainly ask them, but the mere fact that POA has taken over makes one pause for thought--they don't want you to know, for whatever reason. Also, they may not themselves be completely aware of the nickles and dimes of their own situation. Often we make this very personal and the truth is, maybe they just feel like it would be overwhelming to you.
If you think Sister is being covert or untrustworthy, then that's another story.
