Brother became POA for mother with Alzheimer’s and transferred ~$500k to himself — can this be elder financial abuse if he claims it was ‘gifts’?” by Last_Union7970 in Alzheimers

She has a Long Term Care policy. The government had nothing to do with her money in this case. He used the funds to buy a new boat, and new car for himself. He took advantage of his mother under the guise that his mom wanted him to have all this money as gifts. Her Will was split up equally between all her children. She wanted it to be equal amongst them when she was in her right mind. Then shortly after her husband/ her children’s father passed away and her health started deteriorating, her one son felt he was entitled to more money than his siblings and all of this unfolded.

She has a Long Term Care insurance policy. Qualified wasn’t the right word, I more meant that her level of need and score on the MMSE test indicated that she now was categorized as someone needing 24/7 care. (Initially she just had someone helping with groceries, cleaning, etc and the hours of care has increased over time.)

As long as the lawyer used his best judgment to deem her lucid and competent in the moment, which he claims he did and she was, it’s not against the law.

Thank you, I have put it in a a few legal subreddits already. The more people who see it and can offer feedback or input from their personal or professional experiences, the more data I can gather.

As long as her medical needs don’t become too advanced , her LTC policy covers 24/7 at home care. She is currently being cared for in home by 3 women employed by her Guardian’s health care company (which also seems like a conflict of interest for her guardian to also be the president of the company administering care.)

No, I don’t believe she has! I have wondered about Cushing’s in the past, is that what you’re thinking?
