Re: Fathers Trust &Estate

Maybe the DPA's can do that to you and your mother, and maybe they cannot. It all sepends on at least 5 or 6 factors:

1. You need to be sure that you act quickly, and not delay. Delay on your part wil give the DPA's and their plan a decided advantage.

2. You need right away to get in touch with an attorney and have her/him help you by advising you and making requests of and contacts with the DPA's (and the DPAs' attorney if they have an attorney).

3. You need to have the attorney study very carefully the entire Trust Document that gives the DPA's their authority and control. That docujment is one of the main ingredients. If you do not have an up-to-date copy, your attorney can get a copy from the DPAs.

4. You need to have the attorney go over all of the paper work and letters and so forth that the DPAs have provided you in the past 6 months or so.

5.Another important thing is how mentally lucid and compentent is your grandpa right now AND where and with whom does he truly want to live.

6. Very important, too, is whether his medical condition is such that he can safely go on living with you and your mother rather than in a rest home.

I`suggest that if you just let things stand, the DPA's will prevail against you and your mother very soon. It is also pretty certain that you need a lawyer to represent your and your mother's interests; AND YOU VERY MUCH NEED A LAWYEER WHO WILL not run up a big bill or let the disagreement that's liikely to develop between you and the DPA's get you and them into qa big controversy that bleeds them or you and perhaps your grandpa's remaining resources.
