Public Trustee vs Vet

sounds to me that if the wife has power of atterney over Tom senior then he is not capable of managing affairs for himself. If this is so she could have been spending his money elsewhere in inappropreate ways and not looking after him properly. For all we know she gives it to the son who spends it at the Casino.

If this was reported in a newspaper then well over half the story has not been told, the bit that would explain what she was doing with the cash maybe?

Hi Chris ... thanks for replying to this post. I really don't know the story behind why wifey had power of attorney, and why Trustees stepped in. I an't judge, but my immediate reaction was that I hope to heck someone else is mediating for the Vet.

My understanding is that there is a kaffuffle ( or so the media puts forth) about the arbitrary powers of "Trustee" and the implication is that Trustees are highhanded and often take over unjustifiably. Again ... I really don't know the realities ...

IF something is amiss for this Vet though, I hope the attention will help others step and and make sure things are 'done right by the Vet" ...

Bottom line, I don't know the facts. But i also don't have faith in many who hold arbitrary power over others lives that they always really do do whats "right" by the "client".

I posted this in the hopes of others replying and putting in their two cents worth.

Thanks .. Karmen
