What is the name of your state? TX
I am the youngest of 3 girls. I live in Colorado and my other 2 sisters live in LA. My parents lived in Texas. My Dad died last February and my middle sister and her 21 year old daughter had been staying there taking care of my Dad (he had cancer) she lived the closest and she is the only one without a job that was able to do it. After my Dad's funeral we all wanted to sit down and discuss what was to happen to our Mother since she wasn't able to live alone due to health problems. My middle sister would not talk to us at all, she said there was a will and that everything belonged to her and nothing belonged to my Mom. To this day no one has seen a will so we don't know if there is one or not. My sister will not talk to us, she won't answer my parents phone even though she is still there (she has a husband in LA, very strange) She put my Mom in a nursing home with no personal items at all, she doesn't have her wedding rings, her bible, her purse, no family pictures, nothing but a few old clothes. My oldest sister and I went to see my Mom at the end of August. While we were there we went to my parents home, we didn't know if my sister and her daughter were still there. There's a gate in front and it was closed with a chain and padlock. I jumped the gate just to look around. She called the cops and said there was a burglary. She could see that it was me (it was 12 noon) The cops came ready to arrest us. He went to talk to her and came back and said that since she had been there so long that she has set up residency. My Mom wanted to go home for a few days and she couldn't even get in her own house. This is a very small town. My middle sister had POA but we talked to the man who gave it to her and she led him to believe she was an only child. He said he wouldn't have given it to just her if he had known about my older sister and I. Isn't that fraud? My oldest sister and I took my Mom to an attorney and paid $325.00 to get the POA revoked and put under our names. The policeman called some judge and she said neither one of the POA's were valid because my Mom was not in her right mind. She is in her right mind, my middle sister has everyone convinced that she's crazy, she had told my Mom's doctor all kinds of stories and he believes her. We have talked to my Mom for hours since she's been in the nursing home and she has always been clear headed. My middle sister had an auction in September of my parents things without my older sister or I even knowing. I found out later by doing a search of my parents names on the internet and there it was. She kept all the money from the auction and my Dad's funeral hasn't even been paid. She gets my Mom's social security check each month and doesn't spend a penny on my Mom. There's only one funeral home in the town and when my Mom dies they'll want my Dad's funeral paid before they will do hers. My sister will walk away with everyting and leave my older sister and I to pay for both funerals. My sister and her daughter are mentally ill. My sister has always been strange. We talked to alot of my parents friends and they all think she is crazy. She needs to be stopped and my parents house needs to be sold to take care of my Mom, the funeral and the nursing home needs to be paid. Everyone says she can't get away with this but she is. It was a waste of money to get the POA revoked, turns out it was useless. I wrote a letter to the DA in that town to see if he would investigate, I haven't heard anything. When my older sister and I go there we have to stay in a motel while my sister and her daughter are in my parents home and we're not even allowed in. They verbally abused my Mom when I was there for the funeral. They have stolen everything from my Mom and no one will do anything to stop it. My Mom has gotten so much worse since she's been in the home just knowing that her own daughter would do this to her is more than she can stand. She said she wanted to go home and sleep in her bed one more time but my sister told her that she can never go home again. Sorry this is so long, there's so much more but I'll stop now. If anyone has any advice, something we can do I would appreciate it. Thanks!
