Relative financially abusing mother with dementia POA
Question Posted Tuesday February 18 2025, 2:46 am
My mother's step sister is financially abusing her by getting a POA and removing large amounts of money from my mothers bank account. She lied and applied for a restraining order against me and dropped it when I showed up to court. I think she believed I wouldn't show up. What can I do?
Just so you know, it is common for an elderly or mentally ill person to get help financially but I have only known of the person deciding and assigning whomever they want who agrees to help. So I am sure there are special rules in place when a person cannot make that decision on their own for example as when dementia is an issue.
