My sister closed accounts I had w/mom. Became conservator behind my back. Took mom out of our home. Told me I’m not welcomed, not family.

She’s had vendetta against me. She moved mom In w/her. Took away POA I came out of abuse relationship, lived with our mom on n off my whole life. We did RM so all of us could be comfortable, she’s selling the house. Told me to find a place to live. My phone will cut, I’ll be homeless in a matter of weeks!!!
what can I do?

...I must be missing part of this where does OP mention court ordered conservatorship?

oops...thank you ventingisback for this. I totally missed that.

In the title:
Sister is conservator. You only become conservator through the court, and that terminates POA.

Aggie, any RM requires the debt be settled if the homeowner moves out. So, any other recourse is negated because of that simple fact. RM owns the home and makes the rules, truly unfortunate that mom had to go that route.

Your sister is acting accordingly with the information you have provided.

I would encourage you to find a place to live and a way to be self reliant. The situation with your mom and sister is not going to get better fast enough to keep you in your moms house.

Best of luck finding a great place for you to move forward.

Maybe it’s because I live in AUS and our laws are different but these replies seem harsh. Very judgemental on a small amount of information. To me it seems the sister wants something Anyway I can only advise on where I live. If an adult child is dependant on living in the home of their parent and especially if they were involved in their care and maintaining house they cannot be evicted. The home cannot be sold I think in USA family home is counted as an asset and must be sold to pay for care. In AUS if someone is still living in the home including a dependant adult it is not an asset and cannot be sold and person can be moved into care based on their pension

That’s under normal circumstances. But here a court ordered a conservatorship, which terminates the POA and puts the sister in charge.

A court would have done that if they believed POA was unfit to be POA.

As Geaton said, OP if you think the court’s ruling was wrong, speak to a lawyer. Only a lawyer can help you.

Your sister can’t revoke POA on her own. Mom had to grant it in the first place, and only mom can revoke it.

A court ordered a conservatorship. That terminates POA. Sister is conservator and in charge now.

We have seen this happen frequently on the forum in the past. Often when a child makes themselves dependent on a parent once grown and of age it ends that the child is homeless, jobless and without a job history. We often have to end up recommending shelters and getting back on your feet on your own. This sadly is the case for you now. To give up your own life and job to caregive without a compensating contract with a parent is dangerous indeed. I am so sorry this is happening to you, but Sis is conservator now and that will be almost impossible to change in any way.

Talk to an attorney if you think the conservatorship was unjustified and came out of a "vendetta" and not the actual good judgment of the court. This is how your sister got conservatorship... she was able to prove you were not a suitable PoA.

Unless you owned half the house, the "we" didn't do and RM. Mom did.

On the one hand, mom wanted to stay at home and you moving in and caring for her allowed her to do that.

But what happens when mom needs more care than you can give? If you're not financially independent, it would be hard to get mom what she needed and make yourself homeless in the bargain

This really reads as though you were financially exploiting your mom.

No it doesn’t. Harsh

If you don't have one it might be time to find a job and become a self-supporting adult, your mother is not going to live forever so you will have to face this at one time or another why not start now?
