[quote=Anonymous]My mom and her sister - Aunt B- have been estranged for years. 
My mom and our family have provided Aunt B financial support over the years (paid rents for months, dental work, other surgeries, lump sums for whatever).  
7 years ago, Aunt B told my mom that she hated her, always had, and was just around to get what she could from her.  This was very painful for my mom.  
Now, Mom is in a nice assisted living facility in the same town as me.  Mom has frontal temporal dementia and her decision making skills are very compromised.   
Aunt B moved from across the country to be with her "sister."  My mom and Aunt B are car shopping, shopping for homes, beach property, talking about buying Aunt B a trailer, paying for Aunt B's dog's vet care, etc. 
I have POA, guardianship, so no property or car transactions have taken place (but I think there is a secret bank account which I am researching).  I believe Aunt B may be trying to assert she is some kind of caretaker, even though mom is in assisted living (Sunrise) and we have also hired a caregiver for the weekdays from 10 to 5.  Mom was integrating into her community and pretty happy before Aunt B arrived.  Now she is scheming about purchases and waiting around for Aunt B (who sleeps a lot), and now she feels the facility is no up to her standards.  She is no longer doing the facility activities and seems much more anxious.   How do we protect mom from Aunt B?          [/quote]
