My step dad passed Nov. 2007. His executor has Dementia,
also my mother has Dementia. We did not know of my mothers
will so we went to an attorney (myself, 2 of my brothers
and our mother) and I was elected to have power of
attorney for moms affairs. Our intent was to place mom in
a nursing home because she does need constant care. We
have 4th brother who begged me not to do so and said he
and his girl friend would take care of her and he was
worried about loosing his home since he lives in a house
she owns. We went to another lawyer that my 4th brother
knew to make him feel at ease with everything and to
insure him no one was going to take anything from him that
this was all for moms benefit. This new lawyer said we
needed a trust in the event of moms death her remaining
assets would be divided equally among the 4 of us. We
started having problems with this lawyer not doing the
succession and called me complaining that my mother was of
no use and could not give her any information for the
succession. I told her she knew that from the start and
she claimed that I did not tell her of moms dementia and
there for the trust is null but she claims to be the
executrix for my mom and warned that I should be very
careful on how I handle my moms money. We have found the
original 1994 Will that she made when she was competent
and we would like to enforce that Will. Is that possible?
