I have had a friend who lives in CA. He recently was diagnosed with Brain Tumor. He had to have the surgery very quickly because of the size of the tumor. He was afraid of having the surgery but then was convinced because he was afraid to go blind. After the surgery he had a stoke and has not been able to speak clearly or walk. His physician informed the family that he has 4-6 weeks to live. His son with whom he did not have a good relationship had to be given a power of attorney which I know it was limited but I don't know the nature of it. But I know that the father only signed some checks for him to pay the bills. The son did not pay any of the bills and was trying to cash all the monies in the checking and savings account. I don't think that he was able to cash everything because he was bothered that the bank is limiting his access to the account. He may have been able to cash the checking account because he had singed checks. Now the father still does not know that he is going to die this soon. He is responsive and is able to communicate somehow although most of the time you can't make the words but he wrote a couple of times and I am sure it would be easier if he is given a keyboard. My questions are:
1- Shouldn't the father be told that he is not going to live, just in case he wants to speak to an attorney and update his will? after all it is his right to know.
2-Is the Will a public record, how would the daughter know that her brother did cash monies that he should not have? The son is acting like he won the Jack Pot.
3- It is my understanding that as long as he has a signed check, he can withdraw all amount in the checking unless someone from the family complained, is there anyway the son can be stopped because the sister herself has been hospitalized?
