That doesn't work well. Everyone needs an ICE advocate   to watch the elders matters. Being solo and old and wealthy is a recipe for abuse.[/quote]

I have an elderly mom worth a small fortune. She is slowly but surely throwing away all her money and there is nothing we can do because she is considered of sound mind. She passes the neuro screens and there is absolutely nothing we can do. Sketchy relatives are now her best friend and getting handouts. She gave a large handout to the hairdresser. She would like to control every move my brother and I make since we live closest. Every time we set boundaries with her, she throws more of her money out and lets us know. We have a sister who has not lifted a finger and got a massive amount of money from mom. We would like to keep a relationship and do what we can, but my brother, a lawyer has looked into it and we just have let the vultures do their thing for now. I almost wonder if she could have a brain tumor or if she was this sadistic before and we missed it. She proudly tells us who she paid off. She isn't this frail little sweet sole hearing sob stories. It's like any time we say no she writes another check to someone random.[/quote]
