Did the Power of Attorney document include a clause that required the Attorney-in-Fact (Agent) to provide regular accountings to your father and to other family members? This is important to remember for the future, as you review your own Power of Attorney document.
Also, problems caused by Agent's who don't act in the interests of their principal are caused by money they don't spend on services that are needed to provide proper care and companionship. You can check your own motives by keeping the focus on the needs of the person who needs protection and care.
In oiur family there are so many secrets and deception that bros want to hide behind............ "let's put this aside until the grieving period has passed...." That is what Dad would want us all to do."
Well............ guess what??
The ones that want to "put it aside" and "move on" are always the ones that have lied, cheated and stole in this world. It is in THEIR best interest to have you "move on" asap so that they can then use the expressions.... "it's in the past" and "just get over it" and "why can't YOU leave well enough alone?"
Sorry, give a hug........but it is about time we bring to light those that need justice then and THEN forgive and "move on"....
The worst of offenses, like murder, I do NOT believe in the death penalty... but once a person is caught............ they are not sorry they did the bad thing to
Dad and you................. They are just sorry they GOT CAUGHT.
Think long and hard as to if this really is worth pursuing. If the two sisters above had not gotten into this legal battle, the older sister could have used her $100,000 to put her daughter through college. Instead, she is working at a hardware store in order to pay off her debt for being an honest POA, trying to pay what she can towards her daughter's college education and her daughter is also working part time to pay for her school.
As an adult when you choose an action you choose the consequences. So, not being involved while dad was alive and not having a relationship where you could provide input to how money is spent, has a consequence. Accept it.
Remember....... we don't usually regret things we do DO, we usually regret things we decide NOT to take any action on.
requiring all bank statements also of the POA holder and credit card statements
and cell phone and regular phone bills etc.
