Money is always the motivating factor. Seems cruel, but you should disinherint your daughter and watch her attitude change.

I would strongly recommend exploring resources available to victims of elder abuse. Illinois' Department of Human Services has an Elder Abuse Hotline (866-800-1409) which takes calls regarding abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of individuals older than 60 years of age. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office (312-603-8600) also investigates financial exploitation of the elderly.
