[quote=Anonymous]Can you find an elder care attorney in the area where she lives and have a consult (with your sister too, ideally)? Eventually this will all fall apart, and it would be good for you to know your options now in terms of declaring bankruptcy, being able to get aid for her to stay in some kind of nursing facility, etc. That type of lawyer should be able to tell you the circumstances under which she could be labeled incompetent. Are there any social workers associated with her disabled-living community? That would be another resource. When this blows up, I imagine you might be able to take more control of her finances or at least get power of attorney. But you might not be able to do much until then--that was our recent experience with a relative with untreated mental illness related to compulsive shopping and hoarding.[/quote]
