[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the mom was "abusive" and OP "distanced" herself from the family on purpose long ago.

TYPICAL DCUM POST BURYING THE LEAD

She writes a friggin' novel for her first post then after everybody chews her out she returns with these critical missing details.

And they are wealthy so OP wants to appear engaged just enough to not get disinherited but doesn't actually want to lift a finger to help them.[/quote]

Read what I said. I have no interest in their money. Every dollar they have ever dangled came with ridiculous strings. When I made the decision to distance it meant taking nothing from them. My husband and I discussed this 15 yrs ago. I have never had an expectation of inheriting. I don't want anything from them.

They are not wealthy. They just saved welll for their retirement and healthcare needs.[/quote]

No, you made a point in the OP to say your brother has POA but you have no insight at all into the financials. Why would you need to? Nobody is asking you for money but you somehow want access to the pursestrings and accounts and have also mentioned your own money problems? It’s not hard to connect the dots here.[/quote]

Connect someone else's dots. He has been complaining to me about having to handle their financials/banking among other things. I mentioned the POA etc bc that's something I cannot help him with bc of the way my parents want things done/set up.[/quote]
