How Can One Sibling Get Power Of Attorney And Go Through $200,000.00 Dollars Without The Other Siblings Knowledge?

My siblings and me currently have a problem with a brother, who says he has power of attorney. About a year ago he called my sister, other brother and me for a meeting. He then informed us that our names appeared on a title to property that was owned by my dad, deceased in 2001, and my mom who is still alive and diagnosed with Alzheimers. I nor I doubt that my other siblings actually knew this. At this meeting POA-brother presented all of us with a Quit Claim Deed and tried his best to pressure all of us to sign. This of course left all of us with any uneasy feeling and after some searches on the internet, I decided that I was not going to sign this document. I spoke with my other baffled siblings and urged them not to sign. Some time has passed, POA-brother has continued to handle mother's finances and make pretty much all decisions re: Health. He seems to be mismanaging finances and also being rather negligent regarding health concerns. Nothing further has ever been discussed, and now my mother's health is starting to become worse. Where would we begin, as we honestly do not know in fact, and in what capacity so called POA brother has legal rights, or even if he actually has been appointed by law. Some health issues have to be addressed and we would like to participate without further blocks made by POA-brother.

Thank you, your advice would greatly be appreciated.

You can press civil charges if you were suppose to inherit some of that money and she didn't have the legal authority or right to spend the money. The first thing you need is a copy of the power of attorney form. Your local county clerk office or court house will usually print out a copy for you for a print fee. Then read it and see if your family member wrote whether or not your sister was allowed to access money and use it. If it's a general power of attorney it will just say your sister can act in behalf of your family member in all financial matters. If that's the case then there's not much you can probably do. If your sister didn't have the legal right to access and use the money then you can hire a local estate lawyer to handle your case. I doubt this is going to be a small claims case, because most state's limit the amount you can sue for to about $5,000 or less. If it was a small claims case then you can represent yourself, like on Judge Judy.
