Your brother’s behaviour is very suspicious. He’s determined not to let you see your mother’s bank accounts. Even if you could be removed as attorney (which I doubt) you are entitled to see those accounts unless and until you are removed. I can’t see that your mother has the capacity to remove you, and your brother could only remove you if there had been some wrongdoing on your part.
I wouldn’t bother speaking to your brother again as it appears that he’s not going to budge. Keep on with things at your end. If SS think that your mother needs care and lacks the capacity to refuse it they should insist that care be put in place and paid for as your mother has the funds. You can tell them that your brother has refused to give you relevant information about her accounts and ask them to contact the OPG if your brother still won’t cooperate.
If your mother is found to have capacity then care can’t be forced on her.
The important thing is to keep on at SS. Until they make some decisions it’s very difficult for you to do anything because of your mother’s intransigence and your brother’s secretive and obstructive behaviour.
