Hi, I am asking for some type of clarification of my situation before I decide to seek out a lawyer that may be able to help me further. My problem is that my eldest sister has gained a power of attorney over my elderly mother and father. They are elderly but apart from my father having a bit of short term memory loss, they appear to be fine. She is taking control of their bank accounts and has changed their lawyer and doctor. She has also placed them into a retirement village like a nursing home. My father used to keep a substantial amount of cash at home and has shares etc., and I really don't know what to do to stall this activity or hopefully stop it all together. My younger sister is supporting this entry on your forum so we can get direction which way to go and what are our legal avenues and what can my eldest sister do to my parents. Is this activity called elder abuse. Please help us
