Hi
My father has been in a home for 11 years fully funded by the council. He died last week and to mine and my brothers shock our sister who had been dealing with the bills had taken all the pension. It's a difficult situation because we haven't had contact with our sister. We both presumed all our Dads pension went to the home. To our horror we found our sister had cleared out the account over the years. She didn't have POA or any reason to take money from the account. She is now avoiding the subject of the funeral which she owns the plot! So we can't do anything. We don't want the money but needed it for the funeral. Any advice welcome thank you
