Elder law

Hi,

From june 2012 through now, my mother has been in a nursing home. She was awaiting for medicaid approval, which she was approved as of 2/1/2013. During that time she gave me power of attorney to receive all the documents needed to get her approval and to take care of her checking account and pay bills. During this time any monetary transactions that took place between my mother and I she was fully aware of. Now my siblings are questioning the validity of these transactions and have started to accuse me of wrong doing, even though my mother has stated that is not the case. They are threatening me with going to the sheriff and the D.A.. Some of the things they are making accusations about are bills that were paid that were my mothers, but they think they were mine because the didn't recognize the bank name, and a transfer from her checking to my checking, that was put back to her account the following week. They believe this was all done purposefully and won't believe any thing we tell them, they think my mother was taken advantage of. They are leaving nasty voicemails on my husbands company cell phone and ordering me to make contact, even though my mother has explained to them that there was no wrong doing and that they have to stop, because unless she presses charges against me, which she won't, because she knows what transpired was not wrong, they can't continue making accusations and slandering me. Do they have any cause to pursue giving me a headache about this?

My grandmother is 82 and suffers from Alzheimer's disease and she made a lot of money in her life time and saved everything she ever made when she was younger. She has everything she owns paid off and has money in multiple accounts, savings, CD's, IRA's, etc. She married my grandfather who ended up being a thief. Under his name, he stole hundreds of thousands in cash by borrowing money with no intention of paying it back, stashing the cash and declaring bankruptcy. Now that his name cannot get him any money he is stealing from my grandmother. Her savings are being cleaned out and he has possession of her debit card, credit cards, and has full access to all her accounts. He also takes her pension and social security check monthly and spends it. He does keep track of the bills but we know he is hiding her money somewhere. I mentioned before that the house is paid off but this week there was an unheard message on the phone machine saying there was a request for information about reverse mortgages. My grandmother fully paid off the house and if she was all together she would not want it other any circumstances. They can both afford the bills and they are doing pretty well on what they live on so I know this reverse mortgage is so he can take all the money and stash it somewhere and probably desert my grandmother because he has talked about it. He never put any money into the house and he met my grandmother when she had a house so all he did was move on. The house is not in his name and the will says that I will be the one that will have full ownership of the house when she is dead. Since I am not her husband and my name isn't on the house right now is there a way I can block him from reverse mortgaging the house, accessing her savings, and maybe put a limit on what can be withdrawn from her account monthly. I really doubt I have any power in this and this needs to happen. She doesn't believe my mother nor I and she trusts him because she doesn't remember that he stole from her in the past. She will sign probably anything and he is a skilled liar.
