[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is how it begins.  Do they will and POA set up?  So they have plans for their future?  We saw this trainwreck coming and now dealing with it after years of seeing the warning signs ... (dad duped out of thousands of $ by fake family member being in jailed, dad having police called on him because he verbally attacked a receptionist, dad screaming that he has been hacked because of the scammy calls we all get everyday and moving thousands of $ from account to account, rooms in house full of electronics buys because he can't figure out how to use the first one and hoarding behaviour).   THe weird out of place judgement is the first sign.  The paranoia.  [/quote]

OP here and this is exactly what I’m worried about. I just learned he took out a humongous personally guaranteed loan for a wacky business plan amd ha already spent most of the money with no income generated yet. And his current business is on the rocks due to COVID, and they have no retirement savings (the business equity was apparently their retirement). I just feel like his judgement is totally off, and my mom is too in the dark to know what’s happening..

I can’t even imagine how bad it will get before we are able to do a POA. He would never agree to that right now as he thinks he is completely capable and likes to brag about how much time he spends working, but nothing ever comes of it. Yikes [/quote]
