I have DPOA for my mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. Mom wants to get some roof work done. However, recently she's experienced bouts of hallucinations. She's gone to the doctor so we aren't sure if the hallucinations are connected to her dementia or if they are the result of a possibly UTI. Nevertheless, she is very close to signing a contract with a roofer and I want her to wait. Also, my brother is helping to facilitate this contract - AND he wants nothing to do with me (primarily because he does not have DPOA thanks to his history of mismanaging money and borrowing large sums of money from my mother). Should I contact the contractor directly and tell him he needs to wait? Just need to do what's right and try to avoid any fireworks with my (idiotic) brother.
Thanks!
If it is your brother who is picking out the *roofer* and since you said he has a history of mismanaging money and borrowing large sums of money from your mother, it would make me wonder if he is working out some type of deal where he will get the money and no work or cheap work will be done.
