My sister as POA added my other sister the medical POA to my Mom's checking account after my Mom was placed in memory care by her physicians and medical POA is forging checks and set up an automatic payment for her personal storage each month. She also forged my Mom's name on a check to buy herself a car for $6500.00. whomever she had sign the check actually signed it with the wrong last name. The pay to the order part is my sister's, medical POA's hand writing. My mom's last name is Petersen but the check was signed Peters. I took my Mom to the bank and got a print out of her account from February to current, hence how I found these charges against my Mom's checking account. The POA sister won't discuss these problems with me. I don't want to get people in legal trouble but I absolutely expect this money to be paid back immediately and I think we need a third party professional to oversee things to ensure my Mom's best interests are being met.

You're going to have to get over not wanting to get people in legal trouble. They apparently have gotten in legal trouble through their own illegal actions. If you want the right things to be done, you'll have to stop being squeamish and get them done yourself.

Wrongdoers often do bad things because they think they will never be held to account for it. Hold them accountable, and observe the outcome. Whheeee! It might be fun. Plus it's the right thing to do for mom.

I see that in a private message to me, when I asked on your duplicate question how you knew this, you told me you went to the bank with your mother and got a copy of the fraudulent check.

You cannot get a copy of the POA, but the courts certainly will.
This is now a police matter.
I would call APS and ask how best to proceed. This is theft and elder abuse and breach of a Fiduciary duty before the court.
Sister needs to be removed from POA LEGALLY.
This is now a criminal action that must be brought to the courts by the authorities.

You have many avenues. Police, APS, DA office.
