Sister has POA and in charge of everything but she wants to build herself a house on land deeded to her and use moms money to do it when there is 2 other siblings. She says it's what her mom would want and she says it for the whole family but mom doesnt have much time left due to stroke and incapable of speaking or making decisions. Can she legally spend money out of bank account to benefit herself while mom is still alive.
As Mom's POA myself, this sense of "entitlement" for self profit while the elder is still living, just pushes all my "hot" buttons.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG....both legally and ethically....
And if Mom is using Medicaid, Medicaid will want their share to help pay for Mom's care.
Contact an attorney specializing in elder law if necessary.
Must be gremlins in cyberspace acting out again.
