Can I Sue My Brother?

My question is I was given guardianship over my mother for her person and co-guardian (with a court appointed guardian) and I would like to sue my brother for stealing money from my brother over the last 4 years. He had POA for two of those years, but in the 4 years he NEVER had permission to pay his wife to come visit my mother. Do I have a chance of recovering that money? My mother has written him a letter last year asking for restitution of that money.

I now have guardianhip and also Power of Attorney.

Thank you for your replies.

Re: Can I Sue My Brother?

with your power of attorney you can sue your brother. A power of attorney should not be abused in any fashion.

A power of attorney should also state what the powers of your brother were.

But in any event, he cannot use those powers to benefit himself or others.

However, your mother might have enjoyed her daughter-in -laws company. Therefore the money used for transportation might have gone to the benefit of your mother.

Talk the matter over with the co-guardian, you would probably have to work with him in this matter anyway.

Remember, if you sue your brother or his wife, you might as well forget ever talking to him agan.
