How to protect inheritance from sibling trying to manipulate elderly father
Asked on Mar 18th, 2021 on Elder Law - California
More details to this question:
My sibling moved in with my father 10 years ago because he could not afford local rent. He now tries to control everything (he won't let me help with anything. He takes him to doctor (and doesn't tell me), he takes him to store, errands, etc. I keep reminding that I am always available to help. My concern is that he is historically manipulative and greedy, and I think he is manipulating my elderly father to sign everything over to him. Is there any way to protect against this?

Your father may well Will everything to him out of gratitude, not because he is subject to undue inflluence. Discuss the matter with your father. There may be a way to fairly compensate your sibling for 10 years' work without totally excluding you from inheriting.
