[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Is there any way to get POA and the checkbook shared between siblings? Sibling A isn't the oldest if that matters. [/quote] The parent can no longer change the POA because of the dementia. Sibling A is unlikely to do it willingly. The only way would be a court fight, and then only the lawyers will get the money.[/quote] One sibling needs to file for guardianship - of person and finances. It is not expensive in less siblings contest it. We did it for my MIL - they made us pay for an attorney for MIL but we represented ourselves - MIL attorney should have been paid for by the court but attorney was trying to be slick and refused to say she was medicaid. It was around $1600.[/quote]
