first- you need a lawyer. second- if there is any possibility your gramma is being abused, mentally, physically, financially-whatever, your state and county have agencies to assist. look in the phone book, in the blue pages. try county gov't first, then state. act now. the elderly have to be protected- its where we came from, and an indication of where we'll go. |

If you dont intervine th results are sad. Go to a social worker , a lawyer, or even your preacher and explain the situation to them. They will be able to give guidance. If youewant to remain anonymous they should not break your trust. Rememeber look at the source and judge for yourself how the will act. People are people no matter if they are lawyer a Dr. A garbage man or a housewife there is good and bad in all. Even a lady who goes to church trhee times a week./..... |

you need to get a lawyer and file for guardianship of your grandma ma, if you can get guardianship over her estate you can do accounting of her estate while your aunt was in control and see if any abuses occurred like theft and nail her to the cross |

There is such a thing called an 'elderly abuse hotline' I suggest you call that...and you can be anonymous...
I strongly suggest you make an anonymous tip with them, and they will investigate. |

Seek out a Social Services hot line and report the situation. If you get a cold. bureaucratic ear, go as far as you have to. There has to be a directory of organizations in your community who could help. try them all if you have to. Good luck because there have to be group(s) who can intervene. If I got nowhere, I'd call 911 just to create attention and force the issue to the max. |

My mom just died & my brother & sister did the same to me with the will. They wouldnt let me see her after they had her put in a nursing home. I learned that we all had equal parts to everything and I got a lawyer and sued them and they were left with nothing but the outstanding medical bills for my mom & I got everything. I sold it and donated it to a childrens home. Your mom has to take a stand against your aunt. If she doesn't and something happens to your granmother she will never forgive herself. |

Most of this is civil issues, your grandmother needs an attorney to sue this person,
Next you need to stop any contact between these people.
I will say this, a person can not commit another person to a mental hospital without a doctors eval. You don't just lock someone up. And while there they are reviewed on regular basis.
next if she "stole" the will, she still would not get anything, since with out a will, it would all go to the wife. ( state law prevails) she merely needs to file a claim with the probate court.
It sounds like this person gets the gradma to sign any paper she sticks in front of her. And while immoral, it may not actually be illegal if grandma is signing this, and if grandma has not been ruled imcompetant |

You know you need a lawyer familiar with elder and disability law. All states have designated agencies to investigate abuse of elders or mentally ill people. File a complaint with them. |

if it was a true will, then a lawyer has a copy of it. If your aunt is her gaurdian now, she has every right to say what your gramma does. Its unfortunate, but unless your mom takes her sister to court, theres really nothing that can be done. |

Phone a lawyer right away.Consultation is usually free when you visit a lawyer so tell one what has been going on and see what can be done. |

It sounds like your aunt had herself appointed as guardian over her mother as mentally unstable. If she (your grandmother) has not been appointed a guardian or has not been classified as mentally unfit, then she has been, in effect, kidnapped.
Personally, I would start by suggesting your mother go to the police and get them to go to the house to find out if your grandmother wants to be there or is being held against her will. It may also help to have your grandmother seen by a doctor who can determine if she is being medicated into submission. Why is she calling if she does not want to talk about it?
Secondly, I would suggest your mother find an attorney or go back to the court where the original order was read regarding division of her father's assets. She may have to sue her sister to recover her share of any financial assets.
I would also suggest you find a support group for your mother (and yourself) where you can talk to other people who've gone through this. Estrangements in families are not uncommon especially when it comes to one person wanting to take control over a relative's assets.

It sounds like your auntie there is up to no good and has been for quite some time. Was there no copy of the will for proof? Yeah, I can't think of any other answer other than hiring a lawyer. That's quite a sticky situation you got there. Good luck! |

Your mom needs to talk to a lawyer. What she is doing is very wrong. Tell her to act as quickly as possible for your grandmother's sake. |

Assuming your aunt does not have power of attorney over your grandma she has broken many laws and you do need to contact a lawyer immediately. And if she does, you may be able to have the lawyer argue your aunt forced your grandmother to sign over the power. Either way you need a lawyer. |

Do call and speak to an investigator about elder abuse - there is no charge for that. But be warned. We are going through a similar situation with my Grandma right now where my aunt has stolen every penny my grandma had and won't let anyone else in the family see her (she's even in a nursing home now and the nursing home kicked my dad out when he tried to visit because she left instructions that no one else can visit...she has power of attorney over grandma's financials, which my dad DID have joint power of attorney but my aunt talked my senile grandma into taking his name off, which my grandma doesn't remember. But anyway, she does NOT have guardianship, and yet the nursing home won't let anyone else see her, even after my dad called the police). Unless there is clear evidence that a crime has been committed, the investigator's can't go back and look at the accounting records for any of your grandma's money - their hands are basically tied unless they can find probable cause (which isn't as easy as it seems on law and order). My suggestion is to try that route first, and then if that doesn't pan out, speak to an attorney. Most of them will give you at least the initial consultation for free. There's a fine line between criminal and civil cases in these matters, and it's not as cut and dry as you may think. You WILL need help. Good luck...I hope your aunt and my aunt share a cell one day with a big lady named Bertha and....you know the rest. |
