My husband just gained power of attorney over his father, who has been in his daughter’s care for the past 2 1/2 years. He got access to his bank account and saw that she has used every bit of his income on herself - really outrageous expenses, including a $700/mth car payment. My husband and I brought him to our home a week ago and he is in the hospital for the second time. They discovered a very large tumor in his lung that is making it difficult for him to breathe. He has a partially collapsed lung, he is emaciated, and bedridden. While she has been spending all of his money on herself - huge shopping trips, very expensive restaurants, $600 in one day on gaming, etc.., he has been struggling to breathe, without medical treatment. And she is a nurse - she should have known he needed to see a doctor. All of his money was gone +overdrawn the first week of this month. We have been paying for his medicine and other necessities.Her farewell to her dad was, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be ok. My car will continue to get paid for.” ..repeated about 5 times loudly because he’s hard of hearing.
I don’t think we are going to take her to court. We don’t want to upset her dad, who loves her very much. We would like to make it so that she didn’t get a penny more out of him, though. Somehow, she’s still gaining access to his bank account. We think that she held on to her power of attorney papers. We are having a hard time getting his social security switched to a new account, and her car payment will come out automatically. And we worry she has taken out a life insurance policy on him, as well. She and her husband make good money, yet they were using all of his money on themselves. How do we keep her from getting any more money from him?
