My sister took care of my Dad and now my Mom, my Mom has turned on her and wants to take her off part of the will. I am POA and we have two letters that say shie is incompetant that the lawyer has. Is my sister safe?
It's not fair my sister took care of her. My Mom is very angry at her for some unknown reason. I am trying to protect my sister all I can and she has no idea I am. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Some people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a loss of some of their mental abilities if damage caused by the MS occurs in certain parts of the brain. People may be affected to different degrees, and in different ways, over a period of time. The mental abilities most likely to be affected are memory, concentration and problem solving. There may also be emotional problems, such as mood swings.
The term 'dementia' is not generally used in association with multiple sclerosis because the decline is not usually as severe as it is in other forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease. It is more usual to describe the person as 'experiencing cognitive difficulties'. For more information contact the MS Society (see 'Useful organisations').

Here is another one noting that this occurs in about 10% of cases:
Also, I'm hoping that Mom can get or is getting medical care and has a good neurologist who really knows MS...the hallucinations are a worrisome symptom also reported in MS, especially auditory ones ("hearing things") too. Mom's lawyer obviously is not going to steer you towards getting guardianship, but that could be what you really need in this situation. Understanding what is going on may help you cope and make the best decisions in a tough, tough situation...God bless you all!!
She has been moody and a real pain in the ars, and this is getting harder by the minute, I am paying her bills for her and she wants to see EVERYTHING, it makes me nervous, we paid some of the bills and tossed the top portion not thinking, I had to call back and ask for copies of what we tossed on accident. I live in another state, she is draining me so much, but she has no idea, my Mom has hallucinations not dymensia, she has MS. I am going to try talking to her when I am down there and let God speak through me to her. Wish me Luck!
But it seems that with POA and letters of incompetence, you will be able to avoid any Will changes.
