I recently posted a few things here about my dad and his health. He is 88 and will be returning to his house after a short stint in the hospital. He is in fairly good overall health and good mental capacity for his age...................................probably better off than most guys his age anyway. He is fit, still has his hair, etc, etc.
Here's the 'problem'................ ever since my mom passed three years ago there has been NO shortage of women (some as young as 58 !) clamoring to get into his pants and wallet. Some of these women belong to the local church where he has been an active member for 45+ years. The area he lives in is a somewhat rural community but close to major metro (DC) location.
Two of the boldest women (58 & 60) who both have sordid (verifiable) pasts that include going after older (wealthy) men driving a wedge between their children and taking over any assets. One of these two women did this exact same thing 6 years ago and had the dad sign over power of attorney and and changed the will so the entire estate went to her. She was eventually sued by his kids and lost..............It's like something out of a f***king soap opera. Now she is pursuing my dad big time.
Three of the four of us kidz live close enough to keep constant eye on things but I'm torn between protecting my dad's feelings AND his assets and also butting "in" to his personal life.
Anyone here had or is going through something like this with the surviving parent?
