Legal Question in Elder Law in New Jersey
Last parent dying
My father is dying in NJ at age 84. Ricci & Diva have been responsible for his care. Frank & Marcia were cut out of the last will but have since reconciled with Dad. There are 5 of us children. Ricci has POA and will not provide an accounting of Dad's expenses, including my cousin Angie's $5000 loan to Dad. I want to see an accounting of the expenses since I do not trust Ricci & Diva. I would also like to challenge the will to share the estate among all 5 of us. I believe that Angie coerced dad to change the will at the same time that she talked him into the loan. None of us kids were involved in changing the will. My dad had been living in neglect and I feel he is being used for his money. How do I proceed? Thank you,--name removed--Peak

Re: Last parent dying
If you think that your Dad is being exploited financially, you should make a complaint to the police department where he resides, financial exploitation of an incapacitated adult, is a crime.
If you want to get an accounting, you need to bring an action in the probate court where your Dad resides and seek appointment of a conservator and an accounting by Ricci.
