Re: misuse of finances
No, she doesn't...and she'll have to account for money she's spent to the court. She is allowed fees, approved by the court. You should probably review the items with an attorney to see whether court action may be required or a resolution can be reached.

No. You may want to consider filing a petition to get her removed as conservator.

NO. But someone needs to file papers in court to get her removed and to seek recovery of the money stolen. Contact me if interested to doing so.
