You have power of attorney over him or he has it over you?  He suffers from Dementia?  If you have it, just refuse to act.  They'll get someone else.

You need an attorney, without a doubt.  You also have to release the funds/property exactly as stated in the will.  Your job is to make it go smoothly, and make sure everyone get's what their supposed to.  An attorney will help you do this legally.  I know I just went through this about 2 years ago.

What happened? If you clarify the issue, I can tell you who is better to contact. It can be an online casino gambling portal, a gambling authority or a court of justice. It depends on the juridisdiction of the casinos, issues, etc.\n\nLara A.\nhttp://online.casino.name/\nhttp://www.kasinoroulette.com/

The distribution of his estate will be determined by his will or trust.  You need to request that your father make a new one.  If his present will names his wife (your mom) as beneficiary, then he needs to re-do it......Tell him you don't care how he distributes is real assests in his will or trust,  just make sure he has one...a current one!!!! \n\n My dad made a will  10 years before he died.  His wish was that his wife (not my mom) receive the house/.farm, which he figured at the time, was 40% of his estate, and his stocks would be divided among his four children, 15% each.  During those 10 years, he became ill, and she quit her job to care for him. (she was 30 years his junior). He never changed his will, which was fine with me..... she was the only woman who ever loved him for who he was rather than for the amount of $$ he could make (he was a doc).  But, during those 10 years, all of his stocks had to be sold to support them and his illness.  The estate was then thrown into court.  I came to her side to try to get it so that the house/farm would still be hers.  My siblings, (being the reptiles that they were) wanted her thrown out of the house immediately.  Over a year later, I got it settled that she could stay in the house (actually, it was a large farm) as long as she wished, and when she wished to sell, the 60-40 split would be made then and only then.  My dad had independently signed the house over to her 2 years before he died, but they got it denied in court!!!!!!  It was messy.  Wills are sort of complicated.  Your dad needs to see an attorney.  Short of that, he can write out a will IN HIS OWN HAND, rejecting the will or trust he has now, if he has one......  how he would want his estate divided should he drop dead tomorrow.  He then needs to have a couple of friends of his sign each page and date each page, and put it in a safe deposit box.  You don't need to know what it contains, only that it exists.  This will hold up in court.  However, a planned estate (now called a trust) works better.  We are all very good at denying our mortality... wills and the like are "ded stuff" and we all hate to think of that.....\n\nNow for a real twist::::::::::  My ex and I divorced, no children, and our wills were 20 years old.  We did the divorce ourselves, nothing was listed to be divided, got papers off the internet, everything blank, filed, and we were granted a divorce.  But we continued to hold things jointly -- joint checking accounts, joint savings, joint investments, each the beneficiary on our IRAs, I remained the beneficiary to his insurance policy, he paid for the care and boarding of my horse in California, I moved to another state..... etc. Again, none of this was written out or filled in on the divorce papers...... Our 20 year old wills were made when we were flying all over Africa in the late 1980's and figured we'd both die in a plane crash in Kenya somewhere.  So, we left it all to 4 charities.  We did not revise our wills after our divorce....(mistake) we made our estate together, who but the other deserved it more should one of us die, right????  Besides, most everything was joint, anyway, right????  Between the granting of our divorce, August "04 and the time he was killed in an accident, July '05 he did take out a few things  (big investments) in his name only.  Even he thought my name was on them!!!!! In California, joint tenancy and beneficiary status FAIL, read again FAIL with divorce..... unless me, as the surviving ex can prove "beyond all reasonable doubt" that the decedent would have wished joint tenancy and beneficiary status to remain.  I did have that proof, but it took a year, and $20,000 of attorney fees and a mediation session  to prove it.  Those 4 charities froze ALL of my assets, and his too!!!!  Charities, for christ sake!!!!  In the end, against what he really wanted, they got everything that was in his name alone, and cut into some of the th

If money is tight, I would suggest contacting a local Legal Aid center. Usually, free legal clinics like that will have you meet with a volunteer lawyer there, who will assess your factual situation and determine whether the center can do something for you or, if your situation is particularly complicated, refer you to a lawyer who has a referral relationship with the center. At least, you may be able to get some information that will help you better formulate how to go about resolving the problem you're having with your grandfather's daughter. Sometimes, all it takes is a demand letter (i.e., a threat to sue) to prompt people to solve a problem without ever going into litigation.

Power of Attorney allows someone to access all your bank accounts. What were you thinking?\nSure hope your accounts were dry or your screwed!

Your Wife, Husband, Parent, or the one thought to be the next of kin, will need to go and get a Guardianship, from a Judge, if the one you speak of is unable to give you the proper Power of Attorney needed.\n\nCarson:

I deal with POAs very often, so I'll speak to you first as a professional. The first thing you need to know is that he is incurring into elderly abuse (legally speaking), under the mental abuse section. Secondly, as Traveldiva said, he is not the controller of her life - a POA, in NO INSTANCE gives anyone control over someone's life unless it's a healthcare durable power of attorney, and then ONLY if the person does not have the physical ability to make any single decision. In all other cases, a POA only gives rights and control over financial matters (however, he CANNOT, legally speaking too, do ANYthing without the grantor's approval if the grantor is of sound mind and capable of speech). I gather from what you say that he has only a financial power of attorney (and is taking every advantage he can). He is *100% wrong* in believing that the POA he has gives him the right to do what he wants WITHOUT CONSULTING THE FAMILY.\n\nNow, what you need to do is inform mum that she needs to *revoke* the POA and issue a new one to whomever she and you guys think it's best. A POA is revokable at any point in time as long as the person is of sound mind (legally, this means that the person is able to speak and that she or he has not been committed to a mental facility or declared mentally unstable or unfit to take care of her or his own affairs by a legal authority or institution) and able to make decisions. Obviously the decision is hers and it can involve whomever she wants, but it is 100% revokable. HIS OBLIGATION (moral and contractual) IS TO THE GRANTOR AND HER OR HIS FAMILY, not to himself.\n\nNow, from a personal standpoint, I'd say that if he is incurring into the kind of treatment you say, he could get worse, and his only interest would be money, and he'd be pushing her further into the cheapest-living facilities in order to keep whatever insurance money she has to her name, such as health or life insurance. Don't allow this abuse of the poor woman.\n\nI hope Ih elped a little. Feel free to write with any questions, my e-mail is on my profile.\n\nBest of luck to you and mum!

Good for you.I am glad you are taking action.My dad is in a nursing home and they are all bad places.The patients don't get fed all their meals,they are left wet,the are abused both verbally and physically.The pick on the most vulnerable.These nursing homes esp. the ones with the rehab centers are breaking medicare and you and I won't have any retirement money.They are big business and making a living off these folks.Your attorney will try to get a settlement and the nursing home will probably not want to go to court to keep out of the news.The nursing notes will be especially important and don't be surprised if they try to change them.They will also look at the physician's progress notes.You should have gone to the nursing home and requested to see her chart they have to let you and you can get copies for a small copying fee.You'll need help from her doctor.Your attorney will need a legal nurse consultant who can testify that she had negligent care,someone who is a expert in long term care.They are short staffed and don't give a damn about the patients.They are out to make money off this vulnerable population.Write your congressman.Good Luck I hope you win big time.

First question:\n\nAre you over the age of 21? If you are it seems like you do not have to include your name. If you are under 21 then yes you will have to include your name. \n\nSecond question:\n\nDid you include your father's name on your application?\n\nMy best advice would be to wait until you receive an answer on your lottery result and then fill your dad's papers. It seems to me if you are over 21 you can also file your dad's papers without adding your name because you are considered to be an adult.\n\nGood luck and God bless

To properly answer that question, I would need to know if you were in a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7, although it sounds from your question that you were in a Chapter 7.  \n\nIf it was a Chapter 7, Section 541 of the bankruptcy code provides for what constitutes property of the bankruptcy estate and what is subject to being taken by the trustee.  \n\nThe only 6 month provision is found in 541(a)(5) where money you inherited, received in a divorce settlement or from a life insurance policy can be included in your bankruptcy if you receive it within 180 days of filing your bankruptcy.\n\nAlso, 541(a)(6) protects from the trustee: "earnings from services performed by an individual debtor after the commencement of the case."  \n\nI'm assuming you were gambling with money that didn't belong to the Trustee, so any money you won, you really won.  Go celebrate and remember that form the casino had you fill out was for taxes.  Talk to your accountant about that one.

Sorry for your loss.  Best bet is to find another attorney.  And if you first attorney seems to have done something unethical, report him to the local bar.  You may want to consult with a new attorney before you do that.

Tell your Dad he had better cease and desist, you are 50% owner of the home and ALL decisions concerning the property need to be jointly made. Any money that is generated by the property you are entitled to 50% of, unless there are other stipulations. If he does not comply, you might need to get a lawyer, it sucks, but that might be your only recourse.
