My husband and I, are at our wits end with my manipulative brother in law. He took my 89 year old mother in law to a "new" attorney, after she had the same one for years. What a shock when we found out he had her change her trust to leave her house to him, and cut out my husband. He also tried to get power of attorney over her. He has had very little to do with her over the years, and my husband handles everything for her. She has craved attention from my brother in law so much, that when he started coming around more, we feel she just went along with whatever he wanted. When we ask her about the change in the trust, she says she did not change anything. We show her a copy of the trust where it clearly states the change and she seems confused. The problem is if we try to have a third party intervene somehow, she will protect my brother in law, because she can't believe he would ever do such a thing (even when it's in black and white right in front of her) We know he is still working on her to get power of attorney, and we are just not used to dealing with such a manipulative person, it seems like a crazy game with him. Feels good just to write it all down. Any ideas? I read the forums, and you all seem to have great advice.
