What can I do if I fear that my sister, who has power of attorney over Mom affairs, isn't putting the money I send in Mom's bank account?

The classic standoff, two against one or sisters against brother. Send the money directly to your mom with her name on the check to the address of your mom. If your sister has the power of attorney and is utilizing same, she has a duty to deposit check in the account designated for her. If the above is not satisfactory to you, then file a petition into probate court to have the power of attorney revoked and someone else appointed to act on your mother's behalf, assuming your mom is incapable of handling her own affairs.

Request a copy of the power of attorney. Of course, she could deposit check made payable to your mother. If you are sending checks that your sister either isn't depositing or taking for herself, your mother should cancel the power of attorney. Your sister would be personally liable for any funds she neglected or misused in an action by your mother against her. If your mother is incapable of taking action herself, then you might find it necessary to petition the probate court to have a guardian appointed for her.

Do you have to be notified if you are in a Will?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
If the will is probated and you are mentioned or a presumptive heir you will be notified. If it is not a probate estate the notice requirements may be different and you will need to see an attorney. in most case if you are to inherit then you can receive at least the relevant portion of a trust. If there is a probate, the will can be found in the Court file.
