My mother passed away 3 weeks ago. My mother passed away 3
My mother passed away 3 weeks ago. In the years just before that, she was in government housing (in Perth, W.A.), with my brothers and sisters looking in on her. As she progressively changed from being quite independent to suffering dementia, my brothers and sisters shared the task of calling in on her and doing some general cleaning, preparing meals, and looking after her banking. I never thought to be kept informed of her financial affairs because my two sisters just took control of that. I now have reason to be suspicious that my mother's financial affairs might have been manipulated to favour at least one or both of those sisters. Also there were cleanliness issues in the unit where my mother lived, just before she was put into a nursing home, about 18 months ago. I am also concerned about my mother's will, not so much what I might be left with, but whether it was legally prepared before my mother's dementia was realised. Sorry, I started the previous message and when I hit the "enter" key to start a new line, my unfinished message was sent. I am the only son (my mother's oldest) of 5 surviving children, 2 sisters, 3 brothers, who lives in Brisbane, all the others are in Perth. … read more
