When my father passed, I was supposed to be executor, my brother had snuck into my dad's nursing home and had him sign a power of attorney for him. I didn't know any of this until my father's death. At the same time, I learned that he treated himself to dad's saving account, and had cleaned him out to the tune of about $450,000. Dad wasn't in his right mind, but his doctor refused to testify to that. Needless to say, I got screwed bigly.

And it's doubly hard since now you have to wait till after Christmas to do anything at all. I feel your frustration!

And there is no way you're being an ass about all this. That house is part of you as well as part of your heritage.

I hope Thursday gets here soon.

I fought for some things after my mother’s death and have never regretted it.

Mine passed on New Year's Eve. I would call the nurse back and tell her to do nothing and let nothing happen - nio money distribution or anything until you have contacted the attorney or at least go there to see what's up in person, which you should do. Something isn't right here. Hope you can resolve it without issues.

My mom passed 21 n years ago last week and her wishes were discussed with only one of us..it wasn’t me and I’m the oldest so my other sisters and I were taken back when we were not given any mementos, photos..nothing. After all this time, there’s been no conversation with this sister as she has shut us out. But..we are alive and well and much better off with our memories and not having her in our lives. I hope things work out better for you and I would say, get professional help, especially if you have anything in writing. Sorry for your loss..no time is a better time to experience such grief 🌺

It makes it worse having to wonder if these people took advantage of her in her final days.

have her mental faculties. I would definitely have the disputed POA examined for forged signatures and also verify the date it was signed--the same would also apply to a revised will. The probate attorney should be able to provide some guidance.

My condolences on the loss of your mother.

Condolences on the passing of your mom. It's sad that you are burdened with having to deal with legal issues during this sad time but may you be able to celebrate her life through the years to come.

Expected or not, it hits you hard especially around a holiday.
💙

I am also sorry about these complications. I hope it goes smoothly.

You need to line up a doctor to attest to her mental facilities.

Did the hospital turn your mother 's body for funeral over to these people?

If they are not blood related, I believe that is in your favor

You got a battle ahead

Very sad to hear about your mother but I went into fight mode with your situation

you are doing the right thing. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of others. Again, sorry for your loss and good luck.

than a general power of attorney. I hope that's all he got. With a general power of attorney, he could have made financial decisions even while she was alive.

What a mess. I am so sorry, and especially, for the loss of your mother.

The will and probate stuff just sucks.

Losing your mother this time of year really sucks.

My mom died on Christmas Eve in 1983. She was 58. I still dislike this time of year.

It's tough to lose your mom.

I hope everything works out well in the end.

Loving a Mom is so complex, I am sorry.

Change all the locks as soon as you can

I am so sorry for your loss, but also for the ordeal you have to go through while you grieve.

realize they have no moral right to your mom's home.

to let you know earlier...guess she believed the grandkids story. Worrying about this won't help... try to let the spirit of the season help you cope... I know, I'd find it impossible !!!!

I sure hope you can resolve this quickly. Good luck!

that os oen of the hatrdest deaths
