Ms.
Yes, mom is still alive. Here are more details. Two years ago, while I was living out of state, youngerbrother took mom to the doctor and had her diagnnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Without my knowledge, he removed her from her home and put her in assisted living for her own good. He took power of attorney and medical power of attorney. Under that coverage he renovated her house himself and sold it. Since then he has started investing her money in the stock market. I don't know enough about the law here. He says that her will is divided between us and that he is the executor. As the oldest sibling do I have any rights ? Does Mom have any rights here? He is paying her bills at the assisted living. Given these new details would you still say that he is not the executor?
He has on occasion said that he doesn't want to be the only one handling all the issues. He even asked me for my input on where to invest mom's money, but then went on to invest it as we made no firm appopointment to get together.
The lawyer who drafted her will has retired with alzheimers, and his lawyer/son who handled her will died three months ago after moving away to South Carolina. Now there is no thread of continuity that I can discern.
Another question. Can I ask to see the will? Can I ask to be a made a coexecutor of the will? Do I ask younger brother directly, or seek an attorney for this? Please advise.
