i was poa for my mom at one point but when i became ill my uncle took over.. by doing so he spent all of her money.. he had people thinking he was fixing up her house properly but in 2007 i took back over.. i found that she had only 370.00 in the bank.. but when he took over she had over 50,000 plus she was getting 1400 a month in social security.. we paid a lawyer in april but she hasn't done much.. at least we have the petition signed.. but in his answer back, he states that my mother gave him permission to spend the money as he wished and that he denies everything and then states that i want everything but i don't.. he put 30,000 in an annuity and made himself co-owner and his wife and himself beneficiary.. also he made a will but didn't give her a copy .. and the attorney that did it won't give her a copy.. then my sister tried to get her to sign copies of something .. but when my mother said she wouldn't sign it she got made but didn't leave a copy of what it was..i'm not sure if she then forged her signature or something.. the house was in my mother and my name with right of survivorship.. is there anyway for my uncle or my sister to get the house or maybe get a mortgage or something without our knowledge.. my mother had to try to sue to get her money from her own brother.. i don't get it.. i really don't know what to say.. or do.. i'm trying to be patient with this lawyer but it has been since april 2008.. i would hate to think that the lawyer is going to get free money too.. we have since done another will but just want to be sure the house cannot be taken.. we are trying to get the other money back with lawyer's help.. thanks..
