Brother accused of stealing from elderly uncle
A cousin with power of attorney discovered checks written to a 72-year-old brother who the family says is taking advantage of a 92-year-old uncle with dementia.
Dear Eric: I recently discovered that my younger brother (age 72) has been taking advantage of my elderly uncle (age 92), who has dementia. My cousin, who thankfully has power of attorney, uncovered checks made out to the brother.
The brother initially denied the checks, but when confronted with the evidence, he rationalized them by claiming the money was owed to him (which is untrue).
