My mother has guardian U am Plz for HC. She was injured in assisted living I moved her into my home. Do I need a lawyer?

While in Assited living a sister entered her locked home stole a burial plot she bought for me 20 yrs ago.


A brother sold the plot because he hates me. I want him convicted. Mom has enough money for the rest of her life this was cruel to our mother. Do I need a lawyer?

Helen, I am looking at my keyboard at the placement of the keyboard letters you had written, I am thinking you meant to write "My mother has guardian. I am POA for health care." Is that correct?

Time for you to get an "Elder Law Attorney" to see what recommendations he/she has regarding these issues..

Edit: Tacy, I just saw your post. You were thinking the exact same thing. Hope this and other writers had written will convince Helen to get an attorney.

What is Plz?

You moved mom from AL to your home? Who is guardian? Was that person aware that you were moving mom? Without that person's consent, yes you will need a lawyer.

I doubt a lawyer would take a case over a sold plot. It would cost much more in attorney's fees to resolve this than the value of the plot.

Is there a transfer of deed, that you have seen, for the plot? Have you checked with the cemetery to verify ownership has been transferred?

I am confused by your abbreviations “PLZ” “U” “HC”. From last month’s post, Mom was in AL but I understand she is with you now?
I would speak directly to your mother’s court appointed guardian or hire your own attorney.

Helen, here is the previous question you had asked regarding the same subject matter.

https://www.agingcare.com/questions/mom-has-dementia-guardian-does-nothing-for-her-so-a-brother-placed-her-in-al-450149.htm

My question, Helen, who told you about all these things? I doubt your siblings would confess to selling a cemetery plot. I was wondering if you are hearing these things from your Mom? If yes, don't forget, with dementia it isn't unusual for patients to make up stories. Just wondering.

Helen, you do need to revisit the answers you got the first time you posted this at the beginning of July. If this is ongoing and you didn’t get the advice from our posters here that you were looking for back then, maybe it’s a good idea for you to find an attorney to help you solve this. Good luck. I hope you can find the answers you are seeking.
