     Protecting the financially incompetent

     Because of my brother's immaturity, we have found that threats of family abandonment of him are sometimes effective. I know it sounds mean, but it's for his own good. He's not stupid, but, like I said, he has 'sucker' written on his forehead. And, like anyone, you hate to see others take...

     Protecting the financially incompetent

     I have no faith in their formulas for qualifying people for loan, either. Look what they did prior to the housing bust of 2008. You could get a house loan if you had no job, no income.

     Protecting the financially incompetent

     I don't have it in front of me, but it's a trust that he cannot touch unless me or my sister approve the removal of funds from it.

     Protecting the financially incompetent

     My sister did accompany him to the dealer. My brother confessed to me that he put money down to hold the car. He did not tell my sister this. Nether did the saleswoman. When my sister questioned my brother, he said he gave $20 for them to hold the car. Really?! I've never heard that $20...

     But, they can't demand money from his trust, can they? I'm trying together a handle on the legalities.

     Protecting the financially incompetent

     Well, in tandem with the trust fund, sister 1 and myself are the guardians of his trust. His disability check i deposited to his account and he has access to that. My concern is, should the car dealer talk my brother into signing a contract, which we, as family, know he cannot afford, can it...

     Disability ~ My mother believes he was harmed or dropped during birth. Of course, we'll never know, since they knocked her out, as was the custom back in the day. Years later, we found our her obstetrician was a drunk. The left side of the body affects the right side of the body. The right...
