my grandmother, who was a strong 88 year old woman, was in the care of her daughter (who had durable/medical power of attorney) A neighbor called me (grand-daughter) and said my grandmother was being neglected. Took grandma to the doctor where she was diagnosed with malnutrition and dehydration. She was put in the hospital, weighed only 66 pounds, asked by nurses if she was in my care with a face of disgust, told them she was in the care of her own daughter and was fitted with a feeding tube. Doctors said there was nothing else they could do for her and recommended Hospice. Grandma came home with me and was happy to be around family. Grandma told me that I would not be forgotten for the good I am doing and she died 15 days later. My Aunt is the Executrix. There is documentation of neglect, can this neglect revoke any power she has at this point. There is an estate involved with a sell pending and waiting for my Aunt to probate the will. The neglect of grandma should revoke any monies my aunt should get. Texas residence.

I don't know Texas laws but usually, unless the neglect amounted to at least negligent homicide, it would not impact the rights to inherit or serve as executor.
