I was my grandad caregiver his only living daughter is a drunk and drug addict, he gave me durable unlimited poa, i knew what he wanted done with his car so i transfered it before his death i also knew what he wanted done with his savings account money which was very little, his daughter wasnt there over last 10yrs she came only 2times to see him and both times he has me hide his meds and hold his wallet, before death i also closed his savings account, not even 32hrs after his passing she has his trailer cleaned out and damaged the property she was even there when he was taken off life support then at his military honors burial she started a fight with my 19yr old over his flag, she is threatening to sue me because i transfered the car and closed his savings before he passed so i know his wishes would be carried out as he wanted them i did this because before he passed she was already talking about selling everything to pay off what she owed to courts and fines and to get drugs, the police did nothing about her taking his meds after death she was so messed up on his meds she filed a false police report, was i in the right to make sure his wishes were carried out and can she aue me for that
Take care,
Carol
Did he sign to transfer the car title, or did you do it as POA?
I'm not sure if she might have any possible legal grounds to sue you, but under the circumstances I would say to her, "Aunt Greedy, you go ahead and do whatever you feel you must do. My conscience is clear. I'll see you in court, if that is what you decide." I'd count on her not having her act together enough to go through with it.
If he signed it then you are good to go and she has nothing on you.
As someone stated here ''did he have dementia'? in his right mind?
The daughter may say you took advantage bla bla bla
But when you go to the bank (in my experience) if they see you are taking advantage of a senior, FLAGS will raise.
I guess. because of his history with daughter being what she is, I would have gotten it on tape or film. but as far as I know, as long as he signed it you are okay.
Also. HOW would the daughter take you to court? with her drug money? doubt it. I am sure if that did happen the judge would side with you.
PS....did he sign the car to YOU? is this why the daughter is mad?
PPS....good for you in carrying out his wishes. :)
You mention how he had you hold his wallet and hide his meds when this other person visited, good for him from what you described. I'm actually quite surprised that you didn't clean out his residence before this other person did. Around here, when anyone living alone is placed into a nursing home, the belongings are removed from the residence at the time of the nursing home placement or shortly after. That way, there are no looters getting in and treating the place like a free for all. In your carries, I'm terribly sorry that this happened to be the end result. I can only hope that this particular person gets her life straightened out before it's too late.
