An estate or family law lawyer can help.  Call your local Bar Association for a listing of attorneys in your area.

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.

If your lawyer is part of a partnership firm, first complain, in writing to a Senior Partner...one of the dudes with their name on the door...if THAT brings no satisfaction, then go to your state Bar Association's Ethics Review board...good luck.

If they are willing to spend the money on lawyer's fees, a very long time. Debts don't disappear just because they are old. You either pay them or try to declare bankruptcy. If they get a court judgment against you, they can garnish your wages and have the sheriff seize your property.

You can do what that person said or try to look for a POA (Power Of Attorney) form

Your local bar association can usually hook you up with one.  My late dad was required to do a few probono cases every year, all attorneys should.

If you can't afford a private attorney to deal with a guardianship matter, probably your best bet would be to ask the relevant court to appoint an attorney to handle the matter.  Other than that, you could check with your local bar association to see if they could help you find an attorney willing to take such a case pro bono.

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!

There is not an obvious conflict of interest, but if you think that your interests are compromised you can certainly seek the lawyer's disqualification on that basis. But a trustee must either be appointed by (or in accordance with) the trust instrument (in which case your mother-in-law made the decision) or by a court. Perhaps the lawyer has been retained to advise and to make arrangements?\n\nTrusts that I write have provision for a "protector" who can appoint, and in some cases change, the trustee to assure that the settlor's wishes are followed and/or the beneficiaries' interests protected. Professional trustees can be very expensive, and their investment decisions can be excessively conservative.\n\nToo late now, but a clever form of modern trust is something called a Unitrust (or Uni-trust), which clearly defines the financial interests of present and future beneficiaries (remainderpersons).\n\nLiving trusts (revocable living trusts, RLTs) are generally "will substitutes" that avoid probate. In some states (California comes to mind) probate is excessively expensive. In other states (like New York) it is not. In the first sort of state lawyers almost always suggest RLTs as part of estate planning. The trust may or may not survive beyond a distribution period following the death of the grantor: it depends whether it includes provisions for generation skipping (bequests to grandchildren) or charitable remaindermen. When estates are large, tax considerations come into play.

I beleive a power of attorney should do the trick.

Most stationary stores and office supply stores carry a number of generalized forms.  I would expect that a power of attorney, is available almost anywhere.

The general rule is they are effective until revoked by the grantor or until the grantor's death.  It is possible that a court could revoke the agent's power (i.e. terminate the POA).  For example, an incompetant person cannot revoke his/her POA; so a guardian might be appointed who would revoke the POA on the incompetant ward's behalf.

First write down all the facts (not feelings) as they pertain to the situation.\n\nThen meet with a local attorney.\n\nDon't make verbal or written threats.\n\nGood luck.

Talk to your Grandma, see if you can get her to change power of attorney to someone else.  If your grandmother is really being exploited, you need to act.  You can talk to a lawyer yourself, usually you can get an initial meeting for free, at least an hour, and bring your evidence, see what they think.  Your family should have your grandmothers best interests at heart, and would probably be forgiving if you helped her out.
