Hi there
I wonder if anyone can help me please? My mum has some form of Alzheimer's but never actually diagnosed. Last year my sister obtained an LPA behind my back and also for my step father. My stepfather passed away in January and my mother was unable to care for herself after 2 bad falls at home so I have her in a care home for respite at present. My sister has locked up my mothers house( neither myself or my brother have keys) and my sister is drawing money out of my mums account and also has taken control of all my mums finances/ house accounts etc etc. I have tried to ask her for joint control but she refuses to let me or my brother help. I get on very well with my mother and she has asked me to go to see her solicitor to see whether I can be added to the power of attorney. She doesn't fully understand the consequences and I don't wish to pressurise her but my brother and I are concerned about my mothers finances as my mother is quite wealthy and we believe my sister will help herself to whatever she wants in the future. Can anyone advise me please?
