Q: My Grandmother is sick and now being taken advantage of by his partner and son in law. please help
they even went and hire atty. to change her last will. now they're trying to get rid of her by sending her to a hospice. my grandma last wish was to die in her house. they also stop all her medication. this is the only way we can help because only our aunt who lives near her is also scared for our grandmother.
please tell us what to do. Thank you in advance.
A:
They will get away with it unless you
1, immediately report them to your local county adult protective services agency, which you can find their phone number on the internet or phone book.
2. hire a lawyer to file a petition in the court requested your desired relief.
I hope you can PROVE with documents that they stopped her PRESCRIBED medication and that that was contrary to her wishes and/or her doctor's orders. Call the doctor.
Being scared lets them win. Taking action will help your grandmother.
