Re: my rights as caregiver/daughter

If your question is 'what rights to the estate do you have?', the answer is that you will have the ability to contest in a probate proceeding any property distribution that improperly omits you, or any Wills and trusts that you allege were unduly influenced by others. If the parents are no longer competent to care for themselves, you could now seek a conservatorship over them and ask the court for authority necessary to control their finances, to prevent further problems and takings. The attorney handling the conservatorship can get paid out of the parents' funds and estate, assuming they have one. If not, he gets paid by the conservator applying. Feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing this.
