[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother had the bright idea of sueing her children for financial support, after losing her significant wealth to scammy lawyers and hangers-on after her husband's early death. She had never once helped her children out financially after they turned 18, except her one and only son, who was bailed out multiple times in his life. The daughters were left to fend for themselves. My mother, as a young adult living on her own, was dirt poor.

My mother and her siblings ended up selling my Grandma's luxury apartment in Switzerland, with all its valuable antiques, and used the proceeds to set her up in a much smaller apartment, furnished modestly, in a less expensive area. Everyone pooled their money to pay for an aide, because my Grandma had never set foot in a kitchen in her life, and didn't know the first thing about feeding herself.

All the finances were controlled by the siblings, not my Grandma.

You don't need to go that far, OP. Maybe start by contacting senior services in her area and ask what they can do for her.[/quote]
