Im afraid they can son. And no he cant do anything about it. The law is the law. Not always fair, sometimes harsh but none of us are above it.

Unfortunately, this is all too common an occurance.\nFortunately, your brother has more rights than she wants him to have, and she is going all out to keep him from exerting those rights.\nYour brother should go to the Child Services, and ask them for a list of lawyers that they use on a continuing basis. Then he should go to that attorney and talk about his rights, and possibly retaining the lawyer's services. When the court sees a laywer that is ALWAYS in the courtroom fighting for the rights of children, that will hold more weight than the generic ambulance chaser on the street.\nYour brother should also keep a notebook of every time he talks to his ex, and everything that is said, and everything that happens. Everytime the two of them have any contact at all should be documented with who was a witness and what happened. IF possible, have your brother use a speaker phone, and never talk to her without someone else being in the room listening.\nIF it can be recorded, then record the conversation...HAVE HIM TELL HER AT THE OUTSET OF EVERY PHONE CALL THAT SHE IS BEING RECORDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not doing so brings up an entirely new set of challenges.\nAlso, if there are court papers, then it is very likely that your brother is paqying support... have him go to the local office that takes care of such matters (it's Domestic Relations here) and inform them that this is going on, and see what they say.\n\nIf your brother has court-ordered visitation, then she is in contempt of court for denying him that visitation. Get a lawyer.

Abuse of Power of Attorney?\nAre they taking money out of someone elses bank account that they have power of attorney for?\nYes I would. Someone has placed a lot of trust in them and for them to abuse that trust and take that person's money is wrong. In Florida where I live we have some sort of board for "elder abuse" that would look into that.\nI would report them before they cleaned out the bank account completely.\nEventually they will be discovered anyway.\nAnd if you report them sooner then at least the old person will have some money left that they didn't get. \nI think that is a pretty bad crime.\n\nI have Power of Attorney for my 90 year old mother and could get my hands on all her money if I wanted to but I would never do that. I couldn't live with myself and also I know I would be caught eventually, and also that is MOM's moneynot mine.\nTurn them in!\n\nHEY PICK MY ANSWER FOR BEST! Don't just let them go into voting!

You title as executrix is not a power of attorney to do what you please.  You also have a fiduciary duty to the other heirs.  You cannot sign without their permission.  If you can't get it or they won't then you need to file a court action for dissolution of the property. Which is going to cost the estate even more money since you do have a right to utilizes those funds for that purpose.

false, they can contest the will unless u leave a clause in your will that if it is contested they will get nothing.

there is no easy way out of that - your mother-in-law no matter what you say and do will not give up supporting your brother - in - law - what I think you should do is go straight to him and try to get him to change his ways...

It's pretty difficult, I'd imagine. A relative of mine had Alzheimer's. She gave her daughter power of attorney but she had a will leaving her home to her grandchildren. The daughter used her power of attorney to transfer the house into her own name so when her mother died, she didn't own the house and therefore her kids couldn't inherit it.\nAnd yes, she disinherited her own children. \nHer kids didn't fight it. A long time ago, I was in her will, but I was cut out when she had her grandchildren.  I have no resentment over that, but if I had still been in her will I would have fought it. And probably lost.\nIt's frustrating not to get something you think is coming to you.  Probably call an estate lawyer. \nBut with no diagnosis of Alzheimer's, I'm not sure you'd get anywhere. But worth a try.

If your uncle had a valid will, the letter of the law will say its yours. Even if there are people contesting it, just remain calm and dont lose your head. I was in a similar situation and  the other persons attorney tried to approach me to try and come to a "settlement"...dont do it.

You are right.  You can't do anything.  It is up to your aunt.  She is an adult and can change her situation when she wants to.

Power of Attorney is a legal term.  It generally gives someone else the authority to make legal/monetary decisions for someone else.  It doesn't require "care" for an elderly person in terms of emotional care/support, but it does enable the Person to make arrangements for physical care and payment.  Just because someone has Power of Attorney doesn't mean that they have to be involved in their day to day life.
