I am #1POA for my mom in order of preference. My sister is the successor. My mom is in hospice and living with me. She is being well taken care of. Hospice is in my home 4 times a week and they say I am doing a good job. I have a daily aide come in to care for her while I work out of my home. I am a Project Manager in IT. My sisters and I do not get along and both of my sisters want my mom to go live with one of them. They said they hired an attorney and want to remove my mom from my home. What rights do I have? What can they really do? They just may be all talk, but not sure. Not sure what legal rights they may have.
I would try to put yourself in your Mom's shoes, as I'm quite certain she would love the attention from all her kids, here at the end of her life, and what the rest of you are squabbling about, isn't as important as her needs right now.
I certainly hope that this isn't about money or things, as arguing about that would be so unfair during this stage of the game, and only take away from any enjoyment she may be getting, in these next few weeks or months.
I hope that the relationship between you and your family isn't so far deteriorated, that you cannot calmly discuss What's Best For Mom Right Now.
Someone, and likely You, needs to be the voice of reason here! I know that you want what's best, or you wouldn't have come looking for direction, but please, for her sake, reach out your your sisters on this. You've got to work together, and believe me, once Mom is gone, you just might have repaired your relationships with them and will feel all the better for it.
The more you can repair now, the easier it will be in the funeral arrangements, the division of her properties and restoring the family as you know it.
I would do Anything to have my own Mom back, but by God us 6 siblings stuck together in her care, and 13 years later, we are as close as 4 sisters could ever be, and I can't imagine not having them by my side through life.
To seek guardianship of mom would seem difficult at this stage of your moms life. They must feel desperate to spend time with her. Would it be possible for you to allow them to spend a few days alone with mom in your home? A few hours? Maybe give yourself a break away for a weekend? Try to think about what that might mean to you if you were the one without possession. What would your mom want?
You are in a position to be gracious, loving and kind to three women in your family. It's difficult to answer your question without knowing more details. On the surface it seems unlikely but we don't know what your sisters know.
Come back and let us know how this works out.
I am curious what will your sisters gain by moving Mom? Have they said?
