Power of Attorney and Estate question
I have a grandma and a step grandfather, they have been married for about 27 years, so we have my mom and her brothers / sisters from a different dad on my grandmas side and then children on my step grandfathers side of the family, within the last couple of years my step grandfather has been diagnosed with dementia or azhemiers something like that so my grandmother has been taking care of him, recently his oldest son went and got power of attorney over him with my grandmother not knowing and now his oldest son is saying that the apartment that my step grandfather owns and purchased only 4 months before my grandma and step grandfather got married is going to only be left to my step grandfathers side of the family. My question is even if the apartments are in my step grandfathers name and even if in his will he says he wants the property to go to his side of the family (ex. oldest son) doesn’t my grandmother still own half of the apartments because she is married to him? Also could she somehow get power of attorney instead of the oldest son having it? and finally does my grandmother being his wife have the right to look at the power of attorney documents that were written up between my step grandfather and his oldest?

Elder Abuse & A Will My great grandmother just passed a couple of days ago.
Elder Abuse & A Will
My great grandmother just passed a couple of days ago. My grandmother(who is an alcoholic) was living with her. My mom went to the house when my Gram was in the hospital and videotaped it because the conditions were so bad. My Gram had stopped eating because she was told that she would be poisoned. She was 94. She broke her hip in August and had been on meds for a long time. A new will was drafted. They finally got her to sign it late December. The witness’s are the only beneficiaries,(2) and they brought in their own notary to the house. She hadn’t even died when they started cleaning out her house. They both accuse each other of abuse of my grandmother. My other grandmother is also the executor. I don’t want any money, just don’t want them to benefit from helping to kill her off. They were always threatening her. Her former will was much different. It had been the same for 34 years. Do I have any recourse? At least to let it go on record that she was being abused the way she was? I live in OKC and want to at least protect her memory. And for the record, she died of a Urinary Tract Infection. There was no power of attorney, so they made the decision to not feed her with a tube. She went in walking and talking.
