my aunt as far as we know does not have custody she just wants to be in control

Answer 1

first- you need a lawyer. second- if there is any possibility your gramma is being abused, mentally, physically, financially-whatever, your state and county have agencies to assist. look in the phone book, in the blue pages. try county gov't first, then state. act now. the elderly have to be protected- its where we came from, and an indication of where we'll go.

Answer 2

Most of this is civil issues, your grandmother needs an attorney to sue this person,

Next you need to stop any contact between these people.

I will say this, a person can not commit another person to a mental hospital without a doctors eval. You don't just lock someone up. And while there they are reviewed on regular basis.

next if she "stole" the will, she still would not get anything, since with out a will, it would all go to the wife. ( state law prevails) she merely needs to file a claim with the probate court.

It sounds like this person gets the gradma to sign any paper she sticks in front of her. And while immoral, it may not actually be illegal if grandma is signing this, and if grandma has not been ruled imcompetant

Answer 3

If you dont intervine th results are sad. Go to a social worker , a lawyer, or even your preacher and explain the situation to them. They will be able to give guidance. If youewant to remain anonymous they should not break your trust. Rememeber look at the source and judge for yourself how the will act. People are people no matter if they are lawyer a Dr. A garbage man or a housewife there is good and bad in all. Even a lady who goes to church trhee times a week./.....

Answer 4

It sounds like your aunt had herself appointed as guardian over her mother as mentally unstable. If she (your grandmother) has not been appointed a guardian or has not been classified as mentally unfit, then she has been, in effect, kidnapped.

Personally, I would start by suggesting your mother go to the police and get them to go to the house to find out if your grandmother wants to be there or is being held against her will. It may also help to have your grandmother seen by a doctor who can determine if she is being medicated into submission. Why is she calling if she does not want to talk about it?

Secondly, I would suggest your mother find an attorney or go back to the court where the original order was read regarding division of her father's assets. She may have to sue her sister to recover her share of any financial assets.

I would also suggest you find a support group for your mother (and yourself) where you can talk to other people who've gone through this. Estrangements in families are not uncommon especially when it comes to one person wanting to take control over a relative's assets.

Answer 5

Assuming your aunt does not have power of attorney over your grandma she has broken many laws and you do need to contact a lawyer immediately. And if she does, you may be able to have the lawyer argue your aunt forced your grandmother to sign over the power. Either way you need a lawyer.

Answer 6

My mom just died & my brother & sister did the same to me with the will. They wouldnt let me see her after they had her put in a nursing home. I learned that we all had equal parts to everything and I got a lawyer and sued them and they were left with nothing but the outstanding medical bills for my mom & I got everything. I sold it and donated it to a childrens home. Your mom has to take a stand against your aunt. If she doesn't and something happens to your granmother she will never forgive herself.

Answer 7

first of all, suicide isn't egocentric. It capacity you have tried so problematic and you basically are falling aside. I won't pretend to appreciate what it is like via fact i do no longer understand. yet some months in the past, i found out my little sister had cut back a time or 2. It destroyed me interior, I cried myself to sleep for days and did no longer communicate or pay interest in college something of that week. even nonetheless I not at all enable her see it via fact I knew i necessary to be good for her, and that i necessary to teach her that sure i understand, yet I won't say something via fact i understand how embarrassed she became into. So in the previous i circulate on speaking approximately my disaster, I basically felt like saying, if various those human beings you have not at all met care approximately you, save pushing. i do no longer understand what it feels choose to be that down, yet i will promise you that i will continuously be telling you in my head to maintain on pushing, considering you're well worth it, and you will combat this. i'm going to end there in the previous I initiate bawling. playstation . have you ever tried straightforward over the counter drugs inclusive of tums or white ingredients and ginger ale?

Answer 8

Seek out a Social Services hot line and report the situation. If you get a cold. bureaucratic ear, go as far as you have to. There has to be a directory of organizations in your community who could help. try them all if you have to. Good luck because there have to be group(s) who can intervene. If I got nowhere, I'd call 911 just to create attention and force the issue to the max.

Answer 9

It sounds like your auntie there is up to no good and has been for quite some time. Was there no copy of the will for proof? Yeah, I can't think of any other answer other than hiring a lawyer. That's quite a sticky situation you got there. Good luck!

Answer 10

if it was a true will, then a lawyer has a copy of it. If your aunt is her gaurdian now, she has every right to say what your gramma does. Its unfortunate, but unless your mom takes her sister to court, theres really nothing that can be done.
