A: You should likely continued to follow your mother's instructions and pay her bills with the bank card and not give the bank card or any of her money to any other family members. They can go to court and attempt to be appointed as guardian but they can not take you to court in the sense of you getting into any sort of trouble. If you want you can consult with a local attorney and see about being appointed guardian yourself before they do. Best of luck.
