"'My sister has taken on the role of helping Mam day to day - I live abroad. She transferred Dad's car into her own name and I worry this could be the start of a bigger problem'"
"Dear Mary Frances, I live abroad but love reading your pieces online, and I'm hoping you can advise me on a delicate family situation that is becoming more worrying."
"When our father died my sister, who lives closest to our mother, took up the role of helping her day to day."
The sister lives closest to the mother and assumed day-to-day caregiving after the father's death. The sibling who lives abroad remains concerned about decisions made locally. The sister transferred the deceased father's car into her own name without clear consultation. The overseas sibling fears this transaction might precede further transfers or control of the mother's assets. The situation raises potential issues of undue influence, misuse of funds, or inappropriate assumption of authority. The overseas sibling lacks immediate oversight and is seeking advice on protecting the mother's interests, clarifying legal authority, and ensuring transparency in asset management.
