I think I could handle her if The rest of my siblings helped me but all they do his fight amongst one another. My two sisters are in a power struggle about who is in charge I feel either one should be I'm the one who moved in to help my brother with her. and of course I love her. Don't know what to do. I think I waited too long to become her guardian now I believe I have to go through the court it's so difficult why do families fight like that especially over money.

Some Hospice organizations have counseling sessions for the caregiver. While they are not legal professionals, they might be able to put you in the right direction for some of your answers. Your siblings are grieving, and so are you. Focus on your mom. There will be time to sort out the chaos later.

Its too late for guardianship. You need a lawyer and it doesn't happen overnight. Its also very expensive and the State gets involved. You really don't need the hassle right now. I may tell ur sisters it does not matter who is in charge. Mom is dying and she is the important one now.

I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. With your mother in hospice, the last thing you need right now is infighting. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s just how some people process eminent grief. They lash out at those around them. You are an easy target. If you do not have POA or are her guardian already, it will entirely depend on the will. Is her money in a joint account with a sibling? If so, they’ll be pulling the strings if all her money is liquid and not tied up in assets.

My best advice would be to try and stay out of it. Be there for your mom in hospice. Maybe play some of her favorite music on low, and stroke her hand. Just be there for her. Once she’s gone, you’ll never have another opportunity.
