Legal Question in Elder Law in Texas

Go to the bank and ask that your name be removed.

Destroy all the copies of the power of attorney - that can be difficult because you might not know who has copies.

You and the son need to work together to get this matter resolved.

This is a difficult time and it's hard on everyone. I'm sure it's overwhelming for all of you. Good luck! There are resources available for people. If you need to consult with someone, I charge $2 per minute to talk. I've done this for my mom and my dad.

Here are a few tips --

You need an elder care attorney, if you can afford one. Or, talk to a probate attorney who deals with elder issues a lot -- in Houston I refer a lot of people to W. Kevin Alter. He's patient and very kind.

There are people called "care managers" that can assist the family in all aspects of your mother-in-laws's care.

There is a wonderful elder care guide available for free. I picked up a copy in Harris County Probate Court but I'm sure they are available other places.

Check out elder sites on-line.

Also, check the State of Texas & Office of the TX Attorney General on-line sites for leads for elder care.

The Alzheimer's group in Houston Texas is a wonderful resource too.

Good luck!
