2 POA, and exectures on grandmas will. 1 passed away, I am the deceased only child.


I have reason (and evidence) to believe the living POA and execture has moved my grandmothers money around into her own personal accounts before her passing.


I told her I have grandmas will and knows what grandma wanted. She states the will is null and void, because grandma was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's in 2012, when she did her will. She was still mobile and mentally with it.


She still owned her vehicle (stated in the will) and her license wasnt taken away yet.. she was deemed incapacitated through the surrogacy office in 2015. Is her 2012 will still valid ? I believe if she was capable of sitting through the long 5 page will process and going into detail about her assets with her attorney and trustee that she was competant for the will to stand and be valid to this day. What can I do, to make sure my grandmothers wants are met? Should I contact my grandmothers attorney? I'm scared to stir up bad blood with the POA and executor we are very close, but I do feel as though she hasnt been doing the right thing. HELP. I want to anonamously report her so she doesn't know it was me. I want to make sure my grandma wants are met not only for me, but all her other grandchildren...

If you are not a named beneficiary you must get an attorney to help you understand what the will says. It does not always go to the children of a deceased child. Please get a consult with the attorney that wrote the will. Guessing will only make it more confusing for you.

Sometimes it reads that the surviving child receives the entire estate, sometimes it skips a generation completely and sometimes it passed to the grand children if the child predeceases them and sometimes it all goes to the care of the cat.

Was it your parent that she lived with and has since passed away as well? If that is the case grandma's will should have been probated and then you would be dealing with your parents will.
Please get legal advice.

Upon her passing grandma resided with executer and poa that was still alive, i reside in grandmas primary residence for 49 yrs as a property manager (not for free) ive been here for 2yrs since my parents passing i can understand money being spent on her needs, but grandma has much income.. rentals(owned solely),pension,ssi,dividends the lost goes on . I have alot of knowledge regarding her financial stand point and the needs that were necessary for her care(that poa met). No way the amount of money she had.. and the income relates to as much as her 'care' rental property income went to poa personal accounts...

Stepaway106, where did your Grandmother reside? If she stayed in her house, I assume there were caregivers to help her. Or did she live, let's say, in Independent Living facilities, and later in Memory Care? These 3 things can be extremely expensive, and can quickly empty out a healthy bank account. Thus, the Power of Attorney would have needed to be involved with the payments.

Thus, I wouldn't report the Power of Attorney until you have valid proof that she had been pocketing Grandmother's money.... she could have been paying for all the expenses involved from Grandmother's account.

I believe there is reasonable amount to show where savings and checking accounts were spent for her care... however i have evidence that monthly income (which is many) has been deposited solely into poas personally accounts

If grandma wasn't declared incompetent until 2015 and her will was prepared in 2012 then the POA is blowing smoke to cover their actions.

POA ends upon death and then it is up to the named executor to take the necessary steps to probate the will.

Use the attorney that drew it up for advice on how to proceed. Guaranteed they believed she was competent or they would not have drawn up a last will and testament.

I would contact the lawyer who drew up the will. Wills need to go through probate and that's where it all gets ironed out. If you don't want to create a drama and bad feelings the only way to do that is to let the POA do whatever they want. You can't do anonymous reporting as far as I know. It's either stand up and report or let it go. Maybe someone else will know of another way.
