The wife’s grandmother (single) has been degrading physically for several years to the point she has been in a wheelchair at an assisted living facility for at least the last 2 years.
She is also suffering from dimentia, but had that diag. Overturned by finding the right doctor a few years ago.
She is spending money like it grows on trees...having a gardener do repairs / work on her house (empty) and income properties to the tube of over $300K in the last few years. She has never met the guy or seen his work, but found him on angie’s list.
She is currently almost $50K behind on paying for prescriptions and the cost of the facility.
Her daughter, the wife’s mom...has been blackballed because grandma thought she was trying to steal all the money.
We have visibility of only one bank acct...which is mostly empty. Krystal (my wife) evidently got POA over medical issues, but not finances.
At this point, someone Lucid needs to take over everything...financial, property, medical, the whole deal...because the woman is too incapacitated mentally to make sound decisions. (She paid the dude $120K to put a Bocci ball court and fake grass in a 40x15’ area in her backyard at a house she’ll likely never see again)
What sort of attorney do we need to consult? I realize this will be out of pocket for me...and I don’t really care. It will be more out of pocket for me (And the family) if we don’t get a handle On it NOW I think.
We’re not in this to get grandmas money...we’re in this to make sure she has enough (which she should...more than plenty enough) so that the rest of the family doesn’t go broke providing care until the end....before she gives it to gardener boy.
Grandma is in SF, we’re in LA.
Any advise is appreciated.
