My mom is fairly old and has been working, but recently has talked about retiring. She has saved a considerable sum of money. I am not located in the same City as my parent, but I have siblings that are. One sibling has been after me and my other siblings to convince us that my mom has dementia or alzheimers. I have insisted that it is not the case, since mom has continued to work into an advanced age. My concern is that this sibling desires to be placed as guardian for my parent, in order to get access to the money my mom has saved over the years. I never thought anything like this would happen in my family, but here it is. What is the process for having someone declared incompetent? My sibling works in long term care and knows all the social worker people around town, and could probalby get their cooperation if a doctor says she is incompetent. This is really scary to me, that my sibling could prevent my mom from coming to visit my family, keep her from seeing the grandkids, etc., and take all of mom's money. I just do not like it. Are there things I can do to protect my mom and myself?
