We do have full access to his cash and brokerage accounts. My brother and I (the co-DPOAs) were added to their accounts when my parents were still deemed competent.
We do plan on retaining a local probate attorney. We were using my parents estate lawyer, but he has retired.

I'm 62. They are late twenties to mid thirties.
Its clear that my only leverage would be to look for another job. And you're right PayrollHRGuy; There is no way that I can let on that I know this information.
Neither of these newly hired people have talents, experience or training that I don't have. As noted, I've been in the industry for 20+ years. They are relatively new to the industry.
