I don't. But I'm certainly not going to conclude that your stepsister is abusing your aunt based upon what you have written here.
Explain this contradiction:
And, yet, you are talking as if this attorney drafted a will and power of attorney documents.
But, on other matters...
No, there do not need to be two agents acting under POA's.
No, you are not required to accept becoming an agent under a POA.
No, a POA does not affect a will.
Thank you for answering the questions asked.
As for the question
No, you are not required to accept becoming an agent under a POA.)During the changing of the will with the attorney I agreed to become a agent under POA.So,at that time I did accept.Do Ihave the right to change my mind "with draw"if I decide to?
As of now the papers haven't arrive thru the mail from the attorney for us to sign.Couldn't I just simply refuse to sign for POA?
I need to give a correction to this story for you all to better understand what is going on.Because,I see fingers pointing to me the OP.My aunt was always Mentally competent to make her own judgement.She was never found not competent.
During the appointment,The attorney opened his folder that held all of my aunt's history of past wills & POA's that was changed thru out the yrs.You must understand,this aunt was known thru out the yrs as the wealthest one of the families.With that said,many other family members was on the will from one time to another thru out the yrs.Why was the will changed so many times?Well, for many reasons one would.If a relationship goes bad she would pull them off the will.The aunt had the right to change her will anytime she seen fit to do so.The POA's that was asigned to my aunt thru out the yrs was never POA's of funds.Because,she was competent.The POA's that was asigned was only for taking her to doctor appointments and such.Not for funds.There are two types of POAs.One can be over funds and another for taking a love one to a doctor or saying yes or no on pulling the plug.There was never a POA for funds for my aunt.
With that said above,
When we took our aunt to the attorney to have the will changed.The attorney asked to talk to our aunt alone in his office before hand.We could hear the aunt and the attorney talking from the waiting room.The attorney asked our aunt why was she here today.The aunt replied "I don't know".After that the attorney walked out to us in the waiting room and said,I can't do this.I was your aunt's attorney for many yrs and she don't know who i am.And she doesn't know why she is here.I ask to speak with all my clients alone is how I do things he said to us.I then asked the attorney what do you sudjust we do?He replied lets go back to my office and talk more together.After that,he agreed to change the will and both POA's.He stated,since he feels our aunt is not competent at this time he will agree to asign the sister POA of funds.This 100% did happen.As thinking about it now I wonder what gives the attorney the right to state our aunt is not competent?He isn't a doctor.
I thought a doctor has to find someone not competent?I'm confused as much as you all are about this.What you see here in black & white is true.Why would I waste my time typing all of this if it wasn't true.I have no reason to blow smoke your way for what reason.
As I said before,this really isn't my sister as stated.Let's just say she's not a close relative.
No other family members are stepping up to the plate to lend a hand with our aunt.Because,they don't like her truth be said.Or they burned their bridges along time ago with my aunt.As I call this person my sister,the sister I know is right now selling anything that is not nailed down.She will make a mistake.And I don't want to be any part of it.Is why i feel I need to have my POA removed.If this happens she is on her own dinging her own hole.I'm on the will.I should just get off of the POA and set back and watch like everyone else does with wills and wait.
I want to call the police or someone about this but,what good would it really do.If I don't have hard proof of what she is doing I have no leg to stand on.She lives with my aunt and has all acsess to it all.Money does many things to people.To me this isn't worth going down with her.I want out as POA.Do I want the money/will.Who wouldn't truth be told.But,sometimes it isn't as green as you may think.I'm sure about time for the will there will be no money left.If you don't understand what I'm trying to say here.As of right now my aunt is competent until the papers are signed and turned in.The sister is selling everything now while the aunt is competent.I found the house for sale online when the house was agreed to be auctioned in the will.That's not the agreement.
Any other advice please?
