What is the name of your state? New York HELP! What Can I do About This!!
My mother recently passed away, she was 82 and had Alzheimer's. Before she died she had a checking account that she added my name to.She also had a safe deposit box that she added my name to. My father (her husband) did not have his name on the account or the safe deposit box. I had a power of attorney my mother had drawn up naming me as agent that was in our safe deposit box. My mother was diagnosed with alzheimer's over 5 years ago.
In April of 2003 my father somehow came up with a durable power of attorney that named himself as the agent, this one had a clause that 2 doctors had to sign off on a determination of incapacity. I guess that one didn't work for him so he came up with another one in Jan of 2004 that was a general power of attorney that he had witnessed at his local bank-while my mother was on all kinds of medication.
About a month ago she started going down hill healthwise and my father started writing checks on our account (2 for $5000.00 and one for $2000.00) and emptied out the safe deposit box (that had my power of attorney in it). What can I do about this??
