Hi James,

I just replied to Robert Mannor) if you want to read more about what I'm dealing with.

I'm wondering why my Dad was able to get Power of Attorney, over my Grandmother without having her there? He met his Attorney, signed some paperwork, then took the paperwork to my Grandmother who signed her part of it. Not sure how they got away with that. The lawyer moved to another area, shortly after my dad passed, so I have no way of contacting him and have no clue where he moved to.

The lawyer my mom talked to on the phone won't meet us anywhere but his office. My mom questioned him about that. So apparently he's not one that's willing to do that.

So far I now have two lawyers. One in Troy who I contact....and Robert Mannor's office. It's currently my mom's call even though she wants me to have the Power of Attorney. We've been sharing and splitting up different jobs since there is so much to do and take care of.

It sounds like one of the biggest challenges will be whether your grandmother is competent to sign a POA or not. Best of luck with that. It sounds like the APS investigation will probably take care of itself. You are on the right track. You just have difficult circumstances.

Yeah I never thought I'd be the one in the position, being so young, taking care of my Grandmothers plus my Mom. I expected one day to have to take care of my parents of course but not my Grandmothers. I guess I just get what life throws at me. I've found that life doesn't always go the way we were raised and the way that it's supposed to work. Talk about learning the hard way.

It's going to be a toss up I think whether she can sign the paperwork. If we catch her at the right moment, she won't hesitate to sign and will understand. If we catch her at the wrong time, she won't understand at all and won't sign. So I'm not holding my breath. We get what we get I guess. I guess we'll have to work with whichever direction it goes.

Thank you again for your time I really appreciate it. WE actually appreciate it.

I've just decided to let Social Services do whatever they want as far as checking on our situation. Before me and my mom were fighting them, because they were making threats, scaring my Grandmother, etc. However we've got so much other stress on us, aside from Social Services, that we need to concentrate on the more important things that worrying about Social Services. We have no need to worry since we are being falsely accused. So I talked it over with my mom and we are just trying to relax.

I think that is a wise choice and the best that you can do, under the circumstances.
