  • My brother, SIL, sister and BIL feel as if Mom should give them her house and property and move into an old folks' home.
  • Or buy them a house. My Mom is almost 80. She has all of her faculties about her. She is well educated and very spry.
  • It's mostly my Sister and brother causing all the trouble. A few years ago, my stepdad passed. He was a great guy and good to my Mom.

  • My older brother and my younger sister are convinced that Mom has secret money left to her when (step) Dadd_d. At first, they thought she had cash hidden in the house.
  • So they'd visit her, and one would keep her busy while the other would "snoop". Then they convinced themselves that she had a secret bank account somewhere.

  • No, she doesn't. I do most of her banking and set up her accounts for autopay. She owns her house free and clear.

  • After Dad d d, I orchestrated a GoFundMe to get her house paid off. We were successful. They do not know that I did this.

  • They were kept out of the loop for fear they'd pressure her into giving them some of the money. So they have no idea HOW she paid her house off,
  • only that she had paid it off. They really ramped up the pressure after she paid off the house. Now they are convinced more than ever that she has a secret stash of money.
  • Then we told them about the GoFundMe for her house, hoping they would back off of Mom. But they lost it. They wanted an accounting of the money,

  • and they wanted anything that was in that account turned over to them. Threatening to take me to court for elder financial ab e.
  • Now she only has to pay the monthly bills. I set up her auto pay. So I know exactly how much money she has. Enough to live but not to have any fun.
  • So, I pay her water and cellphone bills for her. I transfer the money to her account every month. They have each told her she needs to give them money for a down payment on a house

  • since she "refuses" to give up her home of 35 years. If she won't give them any money, then give up an acre to them each.
  • How are they entitled to her money? She receives less than 4K a month to live on. I can not convince them that she doesn't have a secret bank account.
  • The thing that they do not understand is that he is not our bio father and he didn't raise us. They married when we were all out of the house.

  • No matter how many times I point this out, they say that it doesn't matter, since they called him Dad. It's been a few years, but they still bring it up often.
  • Mom called me last night. She was tired and had worked hard today in her High Tunnel. Both of them had been calling for the last few weeks, upping the pressure.
  • The last time they brought it up, they talked about splitting her house and property between the two of them. Also mentioning her secret bank account.

  • Uh, there are 5 siblings altogether. BUT since the other three( houses and careers) are doing better than these two, they think they are entitled to her home and property after she passes.
  • What they do not know is that she left her house and 5 acres to an animal rescue/activist group that she is very active in.
  • I know because I am the executor of the will. She has asked me not to tell them.

  • How do I get them to back off of her without telling them there's not a snowball's chance in H I that they are getting anything?
  • She does not want them to know about her will, for fear they will harass the animal rescue activist group.
