Since I am no longer my mother's agent, does my sister legally have this right? I cared for my parents for six years and had power of attorney. There was never any issue with how I cared for my parents or handled their affairs. We had a disagreement over giving my sister financial help for a questionable dental procedure at the cost of $7,000 and demanded we help with the cost. My husband refused stating that we weren't consulted and that we have contributed to my parents financially. This sparked a whole fight over money and she thinks that we abused my parents finances. Even though she knew exactly how their finances were handled, I sent her a reasonable accounting. She also had first hand knowledge of everything due to the constant phone calls, email and her periodic yearly visits.
She has been nothing but horrible since our move and I just want her to stop.
Thank you.
Poor Sister. She didn't ask for having her life disrupted in this way, and she had no control over your move (nor should she have). When you feel your life spiralling out of control you may become a little crazy. Let us hope that time will promote healing and you can be rconciled someday. Meanwhile, you have nothing to feel guilty about and you don't need to be defensive or apologetic. For the sake of not burning any bridges try to remain polite and respond factually, without a lot of emotion. Sister is the one having the meltdown. You can be the calm voice of reason.
Good luck.
I need to respond to the letter sent by her attorney friend. In the letter, they sited the Texas Probate code. However according to the code, by not complying with request for accounting, the agent's authority could be revoked. It seems to me that since I am no longer POA and no longer live in Texas, I do not have a legal obligation to get her an accounting, although I have to the best of my ability and records that I have. The sad thing is, is that she knew everything and had access to their accounts. The accounting and cash flow that I gave her, tracks every penny spent on them from the accounts. Should I consult with an attorney or wait to see what happens after I reply?
Thank you all for your words of support.
