She has neglected him, ran up credit cards & disappeared, has three policies out on him. Leaves for weeks a time, wiped out his banking accounts. Father accidentially initialled family and personal care in POA. No one can reach her, doctors, hospitals, LSWs and Adult Protective services. We just want him in a good place and not deal with her anymore. Please help!
If your sister has the DURABLE power of attorney it might outweight any other personal or family POA he may have signed over to this new wife. You should check with your lawyer on that. Also, if your Dad is still of sound enough mind to understand what's going on you should get him to sign new POA's if necessary. Was he of sound mind when he married this woman? That might make a big difference. If he was diagnosed with dementia, anything he may have signed while married to this woman may be worthless. If she took all his money and left, file a complaint with the police!
Awful when this drama happens.
She could be in the Bahamas by now:( Good luck, xo
Sorry it is the new wife doin these things. Myself and siblings are trying to care for him and get her out of the home which is not in her name but my mother's still. It is on a reverse mortgage of which my father did when he was well. Hope this helps. Sorry for the confusion.
