Exploitation of any kind is not to be tolaterated and especially being exploited by your own kin.
The issue could blow up in your face, however, doing something about it would be better than just worrying. You should contact the proper authorities in your country (Sorry, I am not familiar with the laws of your state, as I live in Singapore) and have this reported, however, before doing this, perhaps you should try talking to her about it and confirm things for yourself, before you take any legal actions.
God bless.

There are different ways Adult Protective Services (APS) can act and I failed to mention that there are numerous free law clinics that can advise the elderly. I am not attorney, so this is not legal advice. I have learned some things through experience. It seems prudent that ALL ADULTS (not just the elderly or sick) should grant a durable power of attorney (POA)for finances and health to someone they trust. God forbid anything happens (i.e. car accident, stroke) that incapicitates you, but if tragedy strikes the durable POA allows you to know your wishes are granted.
In the event there is NO POA and there are disagreements between family members about finances and health care, a Conservatorship may have to done. A conservatorship is basically a durable POA that is court approved because the incapacitated person (conservatee) cannot make that decision for themselves.
In the above case, it appears the county petitioned and was granted conservatorship.

I reported my sisters' financial abuse to the social worker at her senior program, and they were obligated to call Adult Protective Services, who then took legal action to have her conserved...all now I am "paying for" and the sisters got off scott free..not even a lecture. Just realize that you are reporting a possible crime. You could also "help" this woman arrange the bills so they are on auto pay. As fulltime caregiver, I am responsible for Mom's monthly allowance and pay smaller bills, food, gas, pet supplies, Rx's etc. The county handles (using MOm's money), the larger bills such as hospital, car and house insurance, senior program, respite caregivers, etc. Not all counties are good at this, and things can go amok there as well.

Call Adult Protective Services in your area.
