My parents are going to lose their house!
I'm sorry... I've been kinda complain-y lately. I just can't tell people about these things... but they are so horrible that I feel like I have to tell someone.
My grandma's husband said something to my grandma and somehow convinced her to sign power of attorney over to him (instead of the poa being my dad). My dad's grandfather had left him some money in sort of a trust fund type thing... it was supposed to be so my dad could pay off their house when it came time for him to retire. Well, somewhere along the line this money was moved to a credit union account that has my grandma's name on it. There isn't anything in writing anywhere... so basically my dad is now screwed because he isn't her poa anymore. The money is going to be used to pay for her nursing home. My parents will have to sell their house now... otherwise my dad would have to work until he was 80!
Remember when I said my mom was acting weird and being "nice" to my grandma... well apparently, this was the money she was after. I had no clue they were going to rely on this money for their retirement! Haven't they ever heard of a 401k? Sheesh!
