Should she go to the doctor? Or is this common for someone in their mid 80s?

I worry because she has adult kids who are constantly asking for huge monetary gifts and she always gives whatever they ask for. They play the poor me, have sympathy for me and can I “borrow “ $$$$$$. Then they say write GIFT ON THE CHECK?

Not sure why this even matters tho,

Grandma has the beginnings of memory loss, and she's being taken advantage of by the money-grubbers. Someone needs to have power of attorney (POA) for her medical and financial decisions before she's too far gone to grant it. It sounds like it should be you, since you're not taking money from her.

The first step to get her affairs in order with power of attorney is to see an elder care or trust and estate attorney.

It matters as well b/c there are limits to gifting, and the IRS could become involved.

It could DEFINITELY matter, if your grandma would someday need Medicaid.

Does anyone have POA?
