This happens all the time and when you find out its to late. I have an aunt that gave power of attorney to a thief and all she can say is that ah she wouldn’t do that o me. everybody sees it coming but my aunt. oh well theres nothing I can do except wait for the money to come up missing. so sad old people don’t believe stuff you tell them.

Sorry Patricia,
A little misunderstood sarcasm.
My sarcastic view of what this story really says.

When you start caring for elderly and/or disabled parents, you learn a lot about your siblings, extended family and community.

I remember holding my father up in the shower with one arm and scrubbing and rinsing with the other. Hooking my arms under his shoulders and walking him to the bathroom. Getting him to his doctor visits

There was no help. We made it without them then, and I certainly have no use for them now. If they need help, they had better call to someone who knows them.

The best advice I ever received as a young man (I am an old man, sitll in possession of my money) is. “Never trust your money to a person that makes his money off other people’s money.” Better to have a passbook than risk all of those hours of your life to a thief.

Your parents raised you. When it’s your turn you don’t sign them over to strangers. Sorry, but that is the bottom line, no excuses.

” Oversight” that sounds easier said than done. Could actually absorb even more money from our seniors. I agree with Chris in Molino. Take care of your parents. We owe them EVERYTHING.

@ Chris – it sounds like your wife made a lot of sacrifices to care for your mother and your grandmother.

You sure seem to know a lot about how everybody else lives.

P.S.
@huh
That’s why i stay where my parents and their parents are from.
That’s why i’d rather stay here and make $50k, than move to some unfamiliar place to make $150k. You make sacrifices for
WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT.
