[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 359987, member: 1991"] Not taking action, not reporting this is enabling M even more. ANd she will be counting on this. You need to let the bank know what has been happening, you need to let Medicaid know. And at least talk to the police, ask their advice (at least, it is what I would do here - but our cops may be different). Certainly get legal advice. who knows? A solicitor might know of a loophole you can use to get free statements, because of the fraud you need to investigate. Or you could ask the bank to investigate the fraud. If this were a paid carer who was doing this, you would press charges. In this, your sister who is an addict, cannot be considered to have the protection of family, not if she has been abusing that position of trust. Something else you need to do ASAP, before M realises you're awake to her tricks - get to your mother and collect all valuables she may have in her possession, to get these valuables away from M. it may already be too late. M will need money, fast, and will use whatever she can to get it. Make sure there is nothing she can get at. This includes your mother's property in any form. If there is a house somewhere, make sure M can't get her hands on any keys. Forget about deeds or paperwork, a problem we've had over here is people claiming they own a house and putting on the market and selling it, when they didn't even have the deeds. They got the money from the sale, handed over the keys (in one case, this was the neighbour who had been left with the keys while the owner went on an overseas holiday) and then skipped town. Do let us know how you get on. You can't be held responsible for the past problems if you didn't know, but now you DO know, you could be held responsible for failure to follow up and try to get her money reclaimed. Also check out the will. Make sure there hasn't been a new one written, or a new POA written with M's name on it. You really need to keep your mother away from M. Marg [/QUOTE]
