The Latest on the Evil One

Tweet

The evil one is still at it. He has moved his girlfriend and her two youngest kids into mom's house. The other 3 kids are all over 18 and living elsewhere. I found out from a reliable source that there was another Power Of Attorney out there for all of mom's cash and property and other things as well. This put me on alert so we went to both banks that she deals with. The first bank I had called last week and she told me yes, the evil one came to the branch near my mother's house. Upon reading the "notes" that were uploaded they took action. He presented his Power of Attorney and they told him they could not honor it. The account was put on hold. They tried to call my mother but only had her old phone number which was disconnected. I told the account representative that the POA is not valid. 1. It is forged Also, because of her condition, it is also not valid or would be hard to prove because nobody knows the exact date that she started with the dementia. Upon our visit, I got a copy of the POA. The signature is indeed forged. I told them to look at her signature where she signs checks and also the signature on the POA. They readily agreed. I also brought up forged checks that were coming through and showed them the difference there. I was ticked off about this because I spoke to the branch manager while she was in the hospital and told him there would be no activity on this account and if there was, it was fraud. He was not a help at all as checks went through...forged checks. They all know him there now. He has visited a couple of times trying to get money out and they have told him that he is not getting into her account. Second bank. He showed up there as well and presented a POA. This bank could not even pull a copy of it. But a form was filed stating he had POA. He managed to get $500 out the day he presented the POA. They asked why my mother was not with him. He told them she was disabled and could not move around. LIE, she can move around. He came back again and wanted to take ALL the money out of checking and savings. The account rep that waited on him was the one that accepted the POA. She said that she "felt" something was wrong and told him no. You cannot take any more money out of this bank unless your mother is with you. He left. He came back the following day and sat in the parking lot. The account rep said that she felt like he was waiting for her to leave since he knew they would refer him to her to be waited on. He eventually left. Optimal happening is that he goes back to either one and causes a scene and they call the cops on him. I know he has a bench warrant out for his arrest for an incident in 2018 when he failed to show up for court for traffic violation. That isn't much but it is a start and if the Office of Elderly Abuse has contacted them or vice versa; he will be arrested. This latter part we might can accelerate and are working on that I imagine he will blow his lid if and when he goes back to either branch. Right now the score is Wicked One-0; Mom-2.
