Sounds like I am hearing a possible contesting of the will on the possible basis that it was changed when your dad was not competent to change his will? Has the will been changed? Were you aware of a previous will or have a copy of a previous will that was made when your dad was still competent? Has your dad ever been declared incompetent by a doctor or by a judge? If he's not ever been declared incompetent, then he can sign anything he wants to.
I'm with cornflakes, your dad's the one needing protecting from the misuse of his money which you should report for his sake so that money can be used only for his care until the day he dies.
I think possibly a forensic CPA need to go over your dad's tax returns to see where all of this money is going to and if gifting have been paid if there has been that much money given away.
The IRS might even want to know where these people are all of a sudden getting all this money from that is possibly enabling them to live higher than their usual taxable income? I don't know but they may owe taxes on the money given to them by the POA from your dad's account?
Given the current situation, if he gets milked down to where he must apply for medicaid before 5 years is up, he is going to be financially up the creek when they do their 5 year look back and he could be disqualified because it was all given away!
Now that is a real worry to focus on protecting him from.
In my opinion, financial inheritance is gravy on top of the preparations that we make for ourselves over the years for our own retirement.
Oh, I'm sorry I read far too fast. She's gifting members of her own family. They need to be informed that this money is not being given to them legally and must return it for your dad's care.
