Has anyone delt with these befoer? My mother in law has remarried and has many health issues. Her new husband is making decisions for her,but my husband has a power of atorney. My mother in law has quite a bit of money in differnet accoutns and trusts. My husband wants to be co-trustee on the accoutns, but, her husband does not want him to be. We have our thoughts on why. Anyway, can my hsuband jsut sign himself as co trustee with the power of attorney he has??

has anyoen dealt with a situation liek this?

I have had MANY issues with a trust since my dad died and I'm now caring for my mom..She is unable to care for herself and I have had nothing but difficulties with the legal aspects of the trust, despite having legal POA, having my mom declared incompetent etc, designateda s successor trusteee etc....I was actually still trying to correct things at one credit union today, after almost a year after my dad's death.Do you have a private email??

I think your best bet would be to go to a lawyer ASAP for just a consultation. There are ones out that specifically deal in Seniors and this type stuff. I am thinking he (new Husband) could probably even try and take your hubby's name off as POA if he talks his wife into it. Some people in love do funny things. I have seen things like this happen in my relation, and they got away with it. They deemed the lady sane-depends on who you get to say that and she signed over POA to another niece. I surely wouldn't fiddle around waiting, as if she does have anything, he could go through it all fast. I handled my grandmother's and am glad I did or she wouldn't have had anything left to see her through till she passed. I don't see how some people can sleep at night knowing that they deliberately go into trying to scam elderly like you see on the news, etc. I would feel I was definitely going somewhere warm when I passed on! Good luck in whatever you do.
