My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago.My step-dad had her living in a camper even though he made really good money and could afford just about any home they chose. She has recently fallen very ill and her doctors say she has only weeks or months to live.She has needed constant care around the clock for the past 3 months which was being done by me,my sister and my aunt. All my step-father would do is come in and complain about having no dinner on the table. Since the camper was very small and had steps up to the restroom in which my mother couldn't climb, we talked her in to staying at my aunts house. She is retired and lives alone and the house is very adequate for caring for my mother so it made very good sense. My step-father grew angry because we moved her and pretty much abandoned her. He closed their joint bank accounts and cancelled her credit and debit cards so we (me,sister,aunt) are buying her medication and whatever she may need. We recently found out that he pressured mom into refinancing the camper (about $75,000) without giving an explanation. When we called the bank to find out why her debit card wasn't working,the nice man at the bank ask how mom was doing since he hadn't talked to her in some time. I explained she didn't have much longer to live and he was shocked,he had no idea. When my step-dad refinanced the camper, he purchased insurance that would pay it off in the event one of them died and lied to the bank about her health.My mother called and cancelled the insurance**************..We also found out that anything he had in his name was transfered into his sons name. Mom recently made out a will giving what little she owns or has in her name to us. She also changed her life insurance policies making me and my sister beneficiares which before was left to him. She has also givin my sister power of attorney. Sorry about the long drawn out story but I felt it beneficial to my questions.
1.Is there anything my step-dad can do to change what she has done with her policies and will.
2.After she dies,will he be responsible for the funeral expenses?
3.He has a policy on her where he works naming him the beneficiary,anything she can do about that one?
4.Is there anything else we can do to uterly screw this guy?**************...any ideas will be appreciated. She does not want him to benefit in any way from her death.
5.Is there anything we can do about the closing of the bank accounts and refusing to help with the expenses? (don't need help with or care about the expenses,it's just the principal of it all)
Again,sorry about posting the whole story, just felt it was relevent. Any help would greatly be appreciated.What is the name of your state?
