I suspect that my stepmother's children gave my father and their mother COVID-19 on purpose. My father died, and now I suspect that they are manipulating my stepmother. What should I do, Moneyist?
My father married a wonderful lady about three years ago; both were widowed and in their 70s and 80s. The woman was well off — not rich, but having several rental properties, investments and cash on hand. My father was comfortable and had no financial concerns, and was able to afford vacations and other things to enhance retirement.
“‘Within weeks after my father’s death, the daughter had gone to her mother’s lawyer, and had her declared incompetent with the daughter as her guardian.’” I went to collect some of my father’s things and saw his widow. She was using a walker, her hair was unkempt and she was completely under the control of the daughter and granddaughter.
They did not manage to kill my dad’s wife, but they did kill my father. The end result was what they wanted: all the money and property, and my father out of their lives. A call to adult protective services in your state, or even a visit to your stepmother’s home by a social worker, may be enough to set off alarm bells. The best solution may be an independent power of attorney, someone who has no vested interest, who can help take care of her home and make long-term healthcare decisions if and/or when she becomes incapacitated. This is more important than inheritance, and she will need money for it.
I’m very sorry your father died from COVID-19, especially as it was so avoidable. Unfortunately, people — sometimes, but not always, young people — feel invincible and don’t think of other people as vulnerable. The illness and its consequences are abstract to them, despite over 837,000 people dying from this disease in the U.S. alone. Some people even use fake vaccine cards so they can go about their lives without experiencing the inconveniences of the unvaccinated.
