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.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

THAT WORK IS DONE.
You may be an executor on your Mom's will as well, and she is still living, but that gives you no rights to manage your Mom's finances or care, nor any right to be on any accounts unless she put you there.
If you are not financial POA for your mother, then you have no right to manage her money.
If your Mom is competent, she can remove anyone at any time as POA and appoint another.
If your mom is INCOMPETENT in these choices then that must be DIAGNOSED and proper documents for guardianship or conservatorship should be done.
This is a matter of your mother's competency, which is a court matter, and of who will manage the money for her, keeping meticulous records of every penny in and out of her accounts and paying her expenses, investing her assets, and keeping track of it all.
See an elder law attorney now.
Your siblings have already contacted an attorney. That suggests that they do not feel your mother's funds are well handled.
And as executor, your job should LONG ago be done in terms of managing and distributing your father's estate according to his wishes.
Unless you are a Trustee of some Trust he created to protect your Mom you have no rights to manage her money just because you were Dad's executor.
Please see an attorney. It's hard from your post to see just what legal things did or didn't happen here. You need to take all documents and records with you to your consult and I sure wish you luck and hope you'll update us.
Do you mean POA? Is it a general POA or an enduring POA? Is Mom able to make decisions & sign for herself? (That may be important)
Mixing family & money, yuk. But if family do the job, cut the grass etc, then yeah, ok I guess. Awkward if better alternatives exist though eg a kid down the road could do it cheaper, more timely & a better job..
Just read your profile. It looks like you work full time and take care of mom’s finances. You are the executor of the will.
You have asked your siblings to help out with chores and they want to be compensated for their work.
Is it possible that your siblings resent you for being the executor?
You will have to speak to the attorney since you couldn’t reach an agreement with your siblings.
You said in your profile that your siblings didn’t do satisfactory work. Why haven’t you considered hiring outside help to do the work?
Best wishes to you and your family.
