By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

If you need to call the police, do so. The more these incidents are documented, the better it is for you build a case against sibling.
It's been my experience, if the relative is vindictive, they'll keep trying any way to disrupt your life.
Keep documentation of everything and consult with an attorney what your best course of action will be.
He started off being a very charming guy. Not uncommon for these types of abusers, initially they can be quite deceptive.
When she broke up with him he became violent with her and her dog.
Plus, he wrote a note to her that he dropped off at her work, saying that he was going to kill her and himself. Her attorney presented it all in court along with witnesses.
When she read the note, she contacted his father who happens to be a detective. They tracked him down through his cell and was brought to a mental hospital.
I am guessing that in the past you have experienced extremely difficult times with your sibling. I am very sorry that there wasn’t harmony in your family.
Getting a protective order isn’t easy. You must provide adequate proof. My youngest daughter had to acquire one against her abusive ex boyfriend. She had a great lawyer and was able to provide sufficient evidence of him being a threat.
My daughter had some piece of mind afterwards but she was well aware that it was only a tool to help protect her.
Sometimes irrational people don’t follow laws even if they will pay a consequence for breaking the restrictions that are set in place.
If you feel that a restraining order will help your situation, by all means start the process to obtain one.
Best wishes to you and your family.
POA is a power of attorney.
This is for a sibling?
Are you sure that it is needed, or can you ignore and avoid her?
Like said, a restraining order is a tool. Lets say it says sibling can't come within 100 yards of you, Mom and your home. But he/she does. The restraining order allows you to call the police to remove him/her. And because they went against the oder they are fined or put into jail. It does not protect you if they break into your home. You just hope u can get to a phone to call the police. I would have cameras installed around my house.
If the sibling is deranged, of coursing getting one might make them worse.
As we can't know the sibling we can know little about him or her obeying a restraining order.
Are you being threatened with violence?
Can you give us more details so that you may get better answers how to proceed?
For to, and to my mind, warring siblings is the worst thing for a senior to have to deal with when fragile and approaching end of life. It is a cruel thing, awful to see. I hope that you will find a way toward peace and reconciliation, but not knowing details cannot guess if that is even possible with mediation.
I think not knowing your sibling we cannot know if a restraining order would make him/her better/worse. Some people operate within the confines of the law, some don't.
