My mother recently sold her house and divided the proceeds between her four children,this decision was made after being offered a home with my sister.My mother, after dividing the money and paying off a small mortgage should have £24000.00 in addition to her monthly pension etc. She has fallen out with my sister and doesn`t wish to remain with her. She keeps her belongings in her car and now stays with me or my daughter .I have discovered that Mum has no direct control over her finances when she asked my sister for her bank statements those made available provided no evidence that she has any money left from the sale of her home and she has only 2000 in her account ,she has a monthly income with pensions etc of £1600 she has been living with my sister since January pays the gas bill , her food car and petrol...just doesn`t add up.My sister claims Mum is mad and my two brothers have sided with my sister.Surely if we have all been given a lump sum and she is so very unhappy ,cries all the time it is only right to give her her money back and find her a home. I or my daughter could step in and use my share of the money to provide her with a downstairs shower room/toiletl and bedroom of her own.My brothers have not been in touch with me I feel we should have a meeting,mum is 79 has a heart condition and is extremely distressed, surely we all have a duty to ensure she is safe and has a place to call her own regardless .We have all received £46000 .00.We have all benefited I think it is shameful ! I am a registered nurse and am aware that this situation is unacceptable, my mother is a vulnerable elderly individual and is not to be condemned.
