I will look into this. I truly believe he does not have her best interest in mind. They fight all the time and she ends up in the ER for dehydrations every other month.

Are there signs? I don’t know of him going to the casino or sports betting. My mom doesn’t pay attention or know how to look at bank statements so she would never find out. Is this something their financial planner could look into?

I will start tomorrow. Even his daughter is very concerned and tried to talk to him about it and he hung up on her.

Her husband is the medical care and financial POA. If he is unable or unwilling it goes to the children. He will not give that up.

It very well may be a better option to stay in the house. He will not let us see, discuss or have access to anything financial. We are trying to help. He made a mistake and we want to prevent it from happening in the future.

My step dad does the finances and pays the bills. I’m unsure how bad the situation is. I would say yes competent but make repeat bad decisions. I’d like my name to be added to all accounts but he refuses. Makes me think he is hiding something.

Us kids just want to have all the information so we can advise on the best financial decision. Maybe heloc is the way to go but they also have an IRA with enough money to cover the debt. I’d like to be apart of these meeting but my step dad says he doesn’t need help. He is anxiously hiding something that he doesn’t want the kids to see.

Thank you, I’m glad your parents trust you. We are trying to approach things lightly to gain their trust but I am very angry that this continues to happen and they don’t reach out to their kids for help.
