My daughter who has durable power of attorney for estate has mismanage my financial affairs and is stealing money from my funds

Anonymous Jul 1, 2015 3 views 1 answers

I am fully alert and able to make my own decisions yet due to physical issues (back problems for which I take medication) my doctor thought best I be in a senior living center, here now 2 1/2 months.I have no access to my money accounts but do know my daughter whom I trusted has withdrawn $48,000 in one month. I think I have a revocable living trust and would change who I would assign as my designated person for power of durable power of attorney. What recourse do I have to make this change without being able to pay at this time? I want to leave this place but I feel my daughter has requested I remain here. They say if I have someone to live with me I could leave but she refuses to help me. PLEASE HELP ..I FEAR ALL MY SAVINGS WILL BE GONE SOON!

From the King County Vulnerable Adult website: Report the crime to the police by calling 911; and Report the crime to DSHS: Call 1-800-562-6078 if the crime occurred in an adult family home (AFH), assisted living facility (ALF), nursing home, or in a certified community residential (supported living) setting (CRS/SL). Call 1-866-221-4909 if the crime occurred anywhere besides an adult family home (AFH), assisted living facility (ALF), nursing home, or in a certified community residential (supported living) setting (CRS/SL). ***Even if in doubt, please report.*** Or contact any attorney who handles estate/probate litigation. Many will understand your predicament and help with the assumption they will be paid from your accounts later.
