Dad Is Greedy?

[filmmaker]

My grandpa passed away in Oct. leaving behind my grandma whom I believe suffers from dementia. She always accuses people of stealing from her and can become violent, my dad is supposed to be taking her in for an evaluation in hopes of calming her. Anyway, my husband and myself moved in to her house to look after her as I was very close to my grandpa&anted to fulfill his goal of keeping her out of a home. My grandparents have a trust which names my dad as executor and leaves there house to both my dad and myself with the understanding it not be sold. Now I find out from my grandma that my dad has convinced her she should sell her house and move out of state with him and build a new house, on her dime I'm sure. My dad is also talking about getting conservatorship....can he really just do whatever he wants with her as long as he convinces her it's what she wants? I don't trust him moving her to a cold climate and isolating her while spending her money...he also has been known to yell at her when she starts accusing people of stealing her stuff. My uncle saw this coming and has since turnrd his back on us leaving me to deal with my greedy father on my own is there anything I can do to protect my grandpa hard earned assets from turning into a pay check for my dad and ensure it is distributed the way my grandpa wanted? My grandpa raised me for 13 years and I really wnt to see to it his wishes are met.

If YOU want the responsibility of taking care of her, then be the first one to file for guardianship at the court, but understand that father may challenge you in court to ask that HE be appointed. Consult with a family law attorney to find out if this is something you should be doing or not.
