Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
Living Will Trust
My mother and father have a living will trust. My father recently passed away and now my mother is the power of attorney. My mother was diagnosed with begining stage of Alzheimers and my sister informed me that since my mother is not capable of making decisions that my sisters and I have the power of attorney. She now tells me that I must give up my right as such and give her sole power of attorney,. Now that was not in the will and does she have the right to change it? Will this make the will null and void? Will she be allowed to put my mother in a honme and sell her home and cars and all she owns?

Re: Living Will Trust
Sadly, it seems that your sister is trying to bully you into doing something you need not do. I strongly urge you to retain the services of an attorney to protect your interests.
