And if he does get it removed because he is on methadone. her doctor prescribes my brother xanax i dont believe the doctor knows he is taking methadone. i found out my brother has been giving my mother xanax as well which keeps her pretty much out of it. he has also went through 11,000 dollars in a month in a half. this was suppose to be our inheritance there is 7000. left i was able to hack into is email account and found out he has opened opened online account which is my mothers savings account still in her name. He apparently has been taking her to the bank to withdraw money. What can I do to stop him?
Can your mother tell you whether or not she's executed a DPOA? If not, you may have to get access to her checking account statements and look through them for evidence of payment to an attorney.
I don't understand though nor does it make any sense that your mother's doctor would write a script for your brother, unless he's treating with him/her as well. Doctors don't just write scripts for relatives or people who aren't patients.
How did you find out your brother is taking Methadone?
Plus no doctor will prescribe medicine for a person who isn't their patient, and only after doing an exam plus blood test.
As for the inheritance, never ever count on it. It can go quickly if and when your Mom needs an extra layer of care in her old age.
And as to the methadone, it sounds as if he's trying to kick his habit, or he wouldn't be taking methadone and reporting daily to a clinic.
