I agree but Hubby’s sister did do it. We spent 3 years in court trying to get part of it back.
I was conservator for an elderly aunt. I had to document every expenditure to the probate court. That was fun. With her lazy siblings looking over my shoulder.
But, with a power of attorney I can do anything with my mom’s assets. She doesn’t care, and my siblings are far away and not involved.
I could see someone with money problems, who was greedy...it would be tempting to someone who was not concerned with their soul.
Word to the wise, involve all of the interested parties and document everything. I keep track of my time and expenses. Anyone could walk in off the street and see where every nickel went.
I am sorry to hear what happened to you. People should learn from both of our stories. Because as the boomers get older, this story is going to be repeated a thousand times over the next twenty years.
