What is the name of your state? GA
We had to send my father to an assisted living home last weekend. My sister and I have been taking care of my father for about 6 months since he was diagnosed with alzheimers. Prior to that when my mother passed away 13 years ago we've visited him on a bi-weekly basis (he lives in N.C.). My 3 bothers rarely visted and almost never did anything to help him, such as grocery shopping, laundry, hair cuts, etc.
My sister and one of my brothers have power of attorney as well as being executors to his estate.
We are in a war of words right now, because my brothers are insinuating that my sister and I have not been taking proper care of our father. An example is that they say his nails should have been cut 6 months ago and with all the money my father has we should have hired someone to come in and do it for him. We have basically all disowned each other and written horrible horrible emails to each other.
Here's the issue, my 3 brothers now say they are going to get an attorney, they want to see all of our father's financial statements, credit card statements, etc. and that if they find any innappropriate spending they will decide whether we should be penalized for it. Also, my sister had transferred some cd's over to annunities on the advise of our banker and they are saying that if money was lost because of it she will have to pay them back for that.
Do they have a leg to stand on with this issue? I would think not, since they have just now started showing interest in our father now that he's been moved to long term care. They are very anxious to sell the house, and want to know all about our father's finances and he's not even dead yet.
