How do you find out exactly what is being squandered by a sibling who has power of attorney over your mother when you have no access to the accounts?

You had better be able to prove your sibling is squandering your mother's money. If you pretty much know then you are going to have a see a lawyer. Unfortunately, it was a bad idea for your mother to give Power of Attorney because it's pretty binding, but there are laws that come with it, so have it checked out by a lawyer and soon! Good luck Marcy

∙ 6y agoIf you know or strongly suspect your mother's assets are being squandered You can bring an action in court and ask the judge to order the attorney in fact to provide an accounting. You can also petition the court to be appointed your mother's guardian if she is unable to manage her own affairs. The appointment of a guardian or conservator would extinguish the POA. It would be helpful to arrange a consultation with an attorney who specializes in elder law if possible.

What are the other sibling rights to mother's property if one sibling has power of attorney and the other sibling never left home and is over forty years of age?
Power of Attorney is to give the sibling mentioned and acknowledged by the mother to perform their affairs when the mother cannot such as paying bills; investing money, etc., and no one else can take the right away from the Power of Attorney mentioned since the mother requested this person, not even the sibling who is 40 years old and living at home. Once a parent dies the Power of Attorney no longer exists and the Executor (male) or Executrix (female) named will put the Will into Probate which will pay off any debts before the Estate is settled and any property or monies left will be divided as the parent's Will stated.
