Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
My mother went into a nursing home. Several months later her husband lost his job, and stopped visiting her. I have access to her bank account online and a big lump sum of money was deposited then later taken out. How do I find out where it went and to who?

If you have a power of attorney that information should be available to you. On the other hand it sounds as if you do not or you would have told me. Simply stated it's her money and whoever she chose to have control over her assets-likely her husband in the absence of a choice. I fail to see where you have standing here. You might be able to get a conservator appointed to manage her affairs if you believe that waste is occurring but it's a tough slog and it doesn't come for free.
