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.

You are POA/Executor/Trustee of your grandpa.
You are required to manage his finances when he has reached that stage of poor mind/mental state. That means he should not have any access to give away or change his will.
The cousins who are attempting to exploit an elder should have a restraining order placed on them after a visit from APS (Adult Protective Services) where you report the cousins.
I mean, the man is in Hospice. It is shocking that the cousins would try this.
Crude, rude, and criminal behavior.
If you cannot do this, ask your mother or their mother to read them the riot act, and say this:
The only changes to Grandpa's will possible are :
1) to exclude the cousins from the inheritance altogether. They get $1.00.
2) to add to the will that anyone contesting the will will only get $1.00.
You see the attorney who drafted the will, it will come out of Grandpa's expenses. Allow cousins to make an appointment with the attorney at their own expense.
It is unbelievable that you would benefit ZERO and your cousins would even be in the will.
What is with that?
Do you mean your Mother's siblings, your mother's cousins, your aunts and uncles?
Your Grandpa's children?
There is so much to go around, and you do not benefit?
Who does that, asks for money from a dying old man?
I would have "supervised visits" required from now on.
Another thing you could do, as POA, is spend down his assets and get for him everything he was too frugal to get for himself. The best electric chair; scooter;
new bed; portable oxygen that goes with the person and looks like a purse/attache/briefcase; a handicapped van wheelchair accessible, a membership in the turf club for horse races; yearly tickets to sports; opera; home improvements for handicapped; new appliances, air fryer; a club membership to the fruit of the month club, anything fabulous for any of his pets; new curtains; a second mortgage to build a pool; remodel a guest room for a 24/7 caregiver; a new hat, etc.
P.S. You do not have to tell anyone what you are doing. That is, spending Grandpa's money on Grandpa. Can he travel?
Once these letters of incompetency are registered no legal document changes will stand under the law. Explain to grandfather that the Trust is being protected and can no longer be changed.
You can always call your attorney and have a consult usually for an hour for a fee sometimes if you already have a trust with them they won't even charge you. But you have no obligation to talk to them about the will or trust. You have an obligation to protect grandpa - just as you would protect yourself. NONE OF THIER BUSINESS!
