About Powr of Attorney
Greetings,
My wife died out of cancer; brain cancer. At the last month of her life, her sister came to visit and encourage her to go to court with her and give her power of attorney. With this letter, she not only cashed both of her bank checking accounts, but also charge her credit card. Now I have been referred as her husband to collection agency for about 11,000.00 US dollar that she charged to my wife’s credit card.Part of it after her death. Total amount she cashed out of checking accounts was about $12,000.00 She also transfered part of ownership of a house, $50,000.00 worth of stocks, and some jeweleries to herself. Is this correct. She took her to court when I was at work and without my consent. I doubt she knew what she was doing. Out of our many years of marriage, we never had a fight, never had any legal authority question us, and never needed a counseler. Is this how legal system of this country treat husband of a woman. If not, what right do I have to procted myself and have her sister pay the bill. It is now over 10 months that the collection agency calls me. The more I tell the story to the credit card company and the collection agency, the less they listen to me.What am I supposed to do? Thank you.

Power of attorney over health
If one child has power of attorney over my Mom’s health, what are her responsibilities keeping the rest of the family in the loop. Including doctor appointments and treatment. (Cancer) I live out of town and can’t get any information about my Mom’s visits to the doctor.

We suspect that one sibling is exploiting our parents
Mom is unable to care for herself (memory disorder), Dad is easily confused and manipulated. Both live in their own house.

A few years ago, four siblings met to discuss care options, legal advice, etc. Unfortunately, one sibling decided to grab the bull by the horns and procure a family lawyer for our parents without our knowledge, excluding us from any involvement. She obtained power of attorney, and had my father sign a quitclaim deed (MA) giving her the lion’s share of our parent’s house. Also, she put her name and address as the primary on their bank accounts.

We always thought (and have some minor evidence) that our parent’s wishes were to distribute the estate equally. And while we were excluded from involvement in arranging for our parent’s care, we have evidence that we did seek this information.

Dad is expressing some doubts about the distribution, but he apparent fears retaliation from our sister (though no abuse is evident, other than possible exploitation).

We suspect the bank accounts have been drained and at this point we hope to at least get equal shares of the house. What can we do?
