Mom is 89 with stage 6 dementia.
I'm daughter caregiver and live with mom. In process of conservatorship. Niece always has lame excuses for needing money. Pay her rent, doctor bills, she's hungry, etc. She doesn't work. Mom says she feels sorry for her and loves her. Mom properties are maintenance deferred. Mom always promises to stop giving her money but doesn't. In September, mom closed out a bank account with $17,000, according to bank. This was done by phone. As I not on account bank will not talk with me. Mom doesn't recall this. At my wits end.
This is financial exploitation of a vulnerable senior.
How did she close an account over the phone? I would be contacting the banking commission to find out wth?
