Can I help grandma?
20 years ago My grandmother gave my aunt power of attorney just incase anything happened to her. Now my aunt is trying to send her into a nursing home claiming that she's not mentaly compantent. My aunt is talking about selling all of grandma's things. As a grandchild I am trying to stop this. Is there anything I can do to help grandma?
Re: Can I help grandma?
One solution is to seek a conservatorship over her because of her 'incompetence', which would give you control of her assets under court supervision. At the same time, any misuse of her assets could be corrected by the court ordering the aunt to return anything taken.
Instead, you might be able to to get her to sign a power of attorney and special instructions giving you the right to make such decisions, which should force the aunt to stop. Feel free to contact if serious about taking legal action to protect her, if she is in SoCal.
