What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
Here is the situation. My aunt has power of attorney. My grandmother has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimers..when I say recently I mean this past Tuesday. My aunt has already cleaned out my grandmother's house, and has contacted three realtors. That was all within a matter of 4 days. My grandmother is staying with my aunt.
Her Alzheimers is only in its beginning stages. She only really has difficulty when you really give her a hard cognitive test. She remembers names, dates, phone numbers, etc. It is really hard to tell she has it if you are not looking for it.
I spoke with my grandmother in private today and videotaped it with my Iphone. My aunt did not make her at all aware that she was cleaning out her house and throwing away her belongings or putting her house on the market. It is broke my grandmothers heart to hear that. She had been in that house 60 years of her life, and she wants to die in that house. She wanted to get rid of my aunt and get an attorney, but she is stuck since she has no where else to go-her house is empty.
I feel as if my aunt is rushing through this process and doesn't have my grandmother's interests at heart. Yes, my aunt has POA. but my grandmother is still well aware of her surroundings and Alzheimers is not that bad. I still think my grandmother should have some input regarding her house/belongings. I just want to make sure my grandmother is happy. I feel like my aunt stabbed her in the back by making such large decisions without consulting her. Any assistance is appreciated.
