Question for you legal eagles out there....

[Solid Snake]

I have a couple of questions regarding the situation with my grandmother who we just moved into assisted living, my mother, and my uncle. He has been floating the idea of taking her to his property for a couple days "so she can relax". We think he just wants to get her alone and get in her head. My mother has power of attorney over her, I am the backup power of attorney. My mother is the executor of her will, my uncle is backup executor (will was made 13 years ago).
Today, my mom got a text from him asking who had power of attorney over her. My mom replied "I do, why?" She got no response.

Question #1: Can my mother legally be the power of attorney over my grandmother AND be the executor of her will? Or would that create a conflict of interest or something?

Question #2: Should my grandmother pass away, she will be leaving behind a CD account with not a huge amount of money in it. She sold her house to my mother years ago when my grandfather was starting to lose his sanity, so the house is not in the will. My question is this, what could my uncle possibly be looking to leverage here?

It (POA) could be as simple as a middle finger to your mother, wish to dictate funeral arrangements or get the CD on principle. POA being that burning of an issue may indicate a belief on his part of additional accounts or land. You should check into that and make sure he never takes her anywhere or better yet is never allowed around her alone. If you could get him trespassed off the grounds and cut off his electronic contact with her (GM) everyone’s life (except maybe his) will be better.

I doubt grandma will take him up on his offer to go out to his property for a few days just because she's just too weak and frail at this point. But the move to the nursing home is still fresh to where she is slightly resentful to my mom for "making her move there". I'm sure that will pass. I don't think we can get my uncle trespassed since he hasn't done anything overtly deceptive. But I appreciate your input. And my uncle was always (and maybe still is) a good guy. His wife (I refuse to call her my aunt) is a total bitch. I think she is the one pulling the strings.

My aunt’s husband was much the same.
