I was both POA and executor for my parents since 2014. Both were in sound and mind at the time. I worked full time, cared for 2 other children from children aid society, helped my 2 children and maintained both homes, my parents and my own. My mother's health took a turn for the worst in 2016 and my fathers health also started to decline. Demanding more of my time. I asked for help from my 2 sisters 1 older and 1 younger. Younger declined saying as long as I was in charge she would not help. Older did help. 2018 1 of the children I was looking after brought a legal issue to my family which threw me into a spin. Without me knowing the younger sister accused me of elder abuse this being financial. And went and got new POA and the will changed without my knowledge. Forced my parents into signing. Both suffer with dementia and other health issues. I started going back to my parents after seeking advice from police for I fear my brother in law he always threatened me. Only to find that both POA were abusing and neglecting both my parents. In sept there was a house fire due to the fact the youngest 1 that was supervising them fell asleep from alcohol and drugs, and left cigs and lighter for my father to sit at the table. my mother oxygen line caught on fire. My sister managed to get my mother out but left my father in the house. I arrived and was handed over both parents. My younger sister then tried to cover herself and told police and fire department it was my fathers fault. Neighbors told me different. I brought my father to my home and he still resides with me. I had to quit my job. I receive no monies for him. I have not seen my mother almost 8 months now due to the fact she resides with my younger sister and her husband. They both have shown their true colors for they will argue in front of both my parents. Its all about power. I have had to get my father a new doctor for his old one that he has had for 50 years has refused to see him due to my younger sisters mouth accusing his doctor of doing something that she did not do. Because of covid I have declined help from outside. My father suffered with burns from the fire. Was seen at the hospital, had people come out 3 times to help with the burns, but chose to take care of it myself. I have my certificate as a PSW from years ago. As my fathers health declines daily I need to know what steps I can take without any complications from the younger sister. The older one which is still POA is awaiting for me to clear up this matter. This is why I'm seeking out a elderly lawyer.

Definitely get an elder lawyer. If the cost of an attorney is an issue, (though I don't know how much it would help) you could check into your local legal aid to see if free or discounted legal services are available. Also check into your county's agency on aging and the America Bar Association or your state's Bar Association for pro bono lawyers.
