Q: I am my Mom's POA and we are trying to gather all her documents. My brothers are refusing to provide them.
The documents we are currently working to get are regarding an LLC that my brother has, and mom is 49.4% partner. He Will not provide the business formation structure document ( not sure of the name), nor any financial info about what has been invested, what the company is worth, etc. Then he asked her to sell her portion.
A: You're looking for a copy of the operating agreement and an accounting of the business. As POA, you probably have the ability to hire an attorney and file a lawsuit to resolve business matters (check the document to make sure it provides this authority). The only (legal) way to force someone to do anything is to get a judge to order them to do so.
