My mother was widowed a couple of years ago. She moved from South Carolina to Houston TX to be near me and my family. But she does not like the city life and is planning to move back to South Carolina in a couple of weeks. She will be near her best Freind who is recently widowed as well. She just bought a nice double wide trailer. ( no property) and has a fairly new car. She lives off SS and a small annuity. I help out as well. My concern. My step sisters will also be near her. I don't really like them. My mother married their father when I was in college. but I thought it might be good until I found out yesterday they tried to get my mother to sign a Power of attorney with out talking to me. And they told her she had to sign it immediately (that day) for some made up reason. I was livid and luckily mom is had enough presence of mind to bring it to me. Mom mind is still ok. She is showing some signs of age. and she says she's not ready to sign a POA to anyone. And I respect that. But I am afraid that in a moment of confusion at some point in the future they will get her to sign a POA. What is the best way to protect her trailer and car. Can I put a lien on them to prevent them from being sold out from under her. I will talk to her weekly if not more often. And want to try to see her every few months. But I am married and own a small business and have children in high school. My life is busy. I am just afraid they will take advantage of her before I can stop them.
Thanks
