[quote=Anonymous]My mother seems to think of the POA, medical proxy, and executor as some sort of honor that needs to be bestowed on my brother. Then, on the side, she'll tell me "don't worry, he'll 'let' you do everything anyway." Um, no thanks. Brother is a narcissistic opioid addict with no moral compass whatsoever. He's sucked as much as he could from my parents during their lifetime, and I would expect him to continue in that fashion unless he predeceases my mother. In the car after the funeral, he turned to her and told her "now it's time for you to take care of me." He proceeded to move in with her, with her footing all the bills, including his Netflix. It's not as if he does anything to earn his keep either. She also has the privilege of cooking and cleaning for him and his new wife (imported from Asia after meeting on Facebook, not sure if she knew what she was getting into). When something needs repairing, my mother has to call a repairman, etc. [/quote]
