I replied to this post early on and read it so differently. I thought the OP was asking if she had rights to ask that of a sibling. Not that her sibling was asking it of her. This is what happens when questions are asked like this.

You are right, JoAnn in how you read this post. I think MaryYvonne is off on her OWN story and I guess triggered by this above. She doesn't feel that the person managing care for an incompetent elder owes anyone an explanation. She is wrong. The POA owes an explanation to the courts if they ask. And ONLY the courts. But the POA better have the files and receipts ready because anyone caring for an incompetent elder can be accused of fraud and they need careful records to prove they didn't.
And nope, re her post below, she can't in fact buy blue jeans out of her parents money when they are old and incompetent. She CAN with a good attorney get a shared living expenses contract done, but she cannot just decide what she wants to do.

Well, I am confused.
What's new, huh?
Now Mary Yvonne says she IS the OP and is posting under two names?

I won't be returning to this thread.
Mary Yvonne, and RLong, and whoEVER IN THE WORLD ELSE------You NEED TO KNOW:

If you are POA (and yes I WAS one as well as Trustee) you must keep meticulous records of every penny in and every penny out of your elder's accounts.
PERIOD.
FULL STOP.
THAT IS BY LAW. Whether you agree with it or not and whether you like it or not a Fiduciary standard under the law is one of the highest duties under the law. If you don't do this you will be held accountable under the law.

I am off this thread now; All take care.

If ur using two names, that is very confusing for us. Your history will not show your previous questions. As MaryYvonne, your father has been taken away by a brother and stepbrother and you have no idea where he is, the last time I read your post. Since MaryYvonne has more history, maybe you should ask the Administrator to close this post to stop future postings.

I saw ur response to Alva. You told ur story as maryyvonne. There is no way we can follow you if you are using two names. No one knows you are under 2 addys. So we had no idea that ur post was a brother asking you for proof. I, personally, thought it was you asking for yourself.
