My brother took my mom to the bank and added himself to her account. My mother had no idea what she was signing. He told her she was signing for a deposit. She just signs. I went there to get a balance they would let give it to me because they now have a joint account so, that’s how I found out. She told me she doesn’t want him on the account. Never asked him to be on it! He can’t be trusted. He has taken her diamond band won’t return it to her instead gives it to his girlfriend he has been untrustworthy and greedy when it comes to mom's money. He’s proven that. What do we do? She wants it just in her name not with him. My brother and I both have POA.
[If your mother is currently living with your brother, and he is not speaking to you,] all you can do is send APS to check on Mom's welfare.
She did, in fact, go to the bank and sign the document.
Is there a possibility she has told different stories to different people? Or, she may be incompetent to handle her own affairs now?
momswithus - since you have POA, maybe you also have access to online banking? move the money.
or physically go to the bank with your mom, and she can move the money to a new account. first open a new bank account, then transfer the money.
hug.
