Someone seriously breached your mother's trust by providing copies of the Will to the siblings. That person obviously hasn't been loyal to your mother's wishes.

Immediately secure the house; change the locks and take inventory.

Close what remains in the bank account and reopen it, perhaps at a different bank. Make it clear to the bank management why you've had to do this, as you'll expect their cooperation in the hopefully ensuing investigation.

And don't tell the other siblings where you've transferred the funds.

Do contact the police; unauthorized removal of funds is theft, perhaps grand theft, depending on the dollar amount. If this was the sister who's co-guardian, I would think it's ground for removal.

I still don't understand why anyone would breach your mother's trust by relesing copies of the Will. And if you knew about these activities beforehand, or were the person who gave them copies of the Will, you may have breached your fiduciary duties.

How low can they go? I would lock up everything and demand that they return what is missing.

Since your mom has dementia what your siblings are doing might be considered financial abuse. Someone here with more experience than I will probably weigh in.

It's definitely unethical, immoral, and exploitative.

They are crimes and should be reported to the police. Moving large amounts of money to your own account is a direct conflict of interest, it is not inheritance, and it constitutes good grounds for removal of a Guardian.

They are both unethical and a crime..

They are stealing from your mother.
