[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to document carefully. We just went through a situation where someone was stealing from an elderly family member, and there was a lawsuit. Of course it was entirely different in reality from what you describe, I'm not saying it was the same, but on paper, in front of a judge, it might look the same. I think the writing a check to yourself looks really sketchy. Instead, I might switch it so that the person on your dad's account is your sibling, and they write the checks. I also think it's reasonable to pay above market rate for someone's care to have someone you 100% trust. I don't think $80 is a problem, but you want to have some kind of documentation that your Dad knows it is well above market rate and has chosen to do it that way. Is your dad of sound mind? Is there someone that can draw up papers, or witness that conversation?[/quote]
