re: Neurologist said he is considering filing with a judge to remove my FIL from his finances

My father filed and got PoA over his mom’s finances, all while living in a foreign country.

The good news is that my grandmother fully trusted my father (who obviously did nothing at all to violate the trust) and wasn’t a target for any fraudsters.

He left a 4 figure account with her niece having PoA, just for some security. On top of that, there was maybe 2K in cash, split amongst a safe where her niece knew the code and several hundred in cash on hand in case of an emergency.

I told my dad to just accept that a few hundred bucks would be lost, and that cash was misplaced dozens of times by my grandmother. Shockingly it was fully intact upon her passing, though clearly not where anyone thought it was supposed to be.

Alzheimer’s is a cruel, cruel disease.

And my grandmother’s case was milder than most, relatively short lived (2-2.5 years) with an onset at age 90 or so, my grandmother was surrounded by trustworthy people, had no financial issues, and she was pretty passive, without any volatile temper.
