You have to be careful who you grant those powers to. It's a real shame that man's own daughter would do this, I can't think of anything more horrid than one's own child turning on them.I don't see how this woman can look herself in the mirror. Absolutely heartbreaking.
A 92-year-old veteran will be evicted from the house he built after his daughter rejected an offer to buy the home for above market value.
In February, John "Jack" Potter's daughter served notice to evict him from the home he built in Zaleski, Ohio, 56 years ago. An appeal court determined the eviction would stand.
Janice Cotrill allegedly used her power of attorney privileges to transfer the deed of the home to her name.

Which is still messed up. Those folks more than earned the right to make their own decisions, I can understand if he can't live on his own or needs 'round the clock medical care, but the guy looks fine to me.Yep. but if I were to read between the lines, my guess is she is trying to force him into a nursing home after he refused to go voluntarily.

I do understand that, sometimes it really is about keeping those folks with us longer, but then that sacrifices the person's dignity, ability to make their own choices, and really lowers their quality of life. I just don't think it's right to do that to people unless they have a situation where there is no choice, for instance, my grandfather was still running a tractor on his property and using heavy equipment before he passed, we were worried about finding him in the field after a horrific accident, but it didn't happen and he would have hated to be restricted for no other reason than to make us feel better. We more than respected his decisions in the latter regard.Well when I have encountered people who tried that, in their mind they were doing the right thing. In my mind, they were just trying to shove mom or pops onto somebody else so they wouldn't have to think about them. I helped one little lady fight her daughter for 3 1/2 years on this. The woman was in her 90's and still push mowed her grass. She eventually got sick and died, but until she did, she was a spirited woman who wouldn't take crap from nobody.

My thing is I would think if that was a factor it would be very important to the story. There may well be a reason she is trying to get him help, but it seems more to me from reading the story the first two or three times that she is trying to get value out of his property and "to hell with him". The pictures I saw of him reminded me of my own grandfather, guy looked like he was self sufficient and ambulatory, if it is the case that she is trying legitimately to help that is definitely understandable, if she thinks it's an inconvenience that he still lives in his own home there is a special place in hell for her.It doesn't really say much about the status of his health. He might be unable to walk, bathe himself or go to the bathroom on his own anymore, so perhaps the daughter thinks he would be better off in a nursing home type of situation. As sad as that is and as much as the old people hate to go there, that is sometimes the only viable option for people.

Sure, and I do agree with your take. My own instincts are this lady is trying to move the property, I think another article stated she was in process of looking for purchasers.Well I have a friend who's grandmother is 79 years old, and she still has her wits about her, but she can't walk anymore because she has such a bad case of degenerative joint disease in her spine. Because she also has COPD and diabetes, they won't even attempt to operate, so this poor woman will never walk again.
They had been trying to keep her at home with friends, family and a visiting nurse coming into the home, because she WANTS to be at home and does not want to go to a nursing home, but she keeps trying to get up and walk, and she keeps falling down.
There is just no way this would work out, keeping this woman at home unless they could afford to have someone there with her 24/7, which they cannot, and their insurance will pay for a nursing home, so that is where she will be going unfortunately.
I'm not sure about this particular situation, but I know that these situations are tough as hell and I don't like passing judgment on the family member who makes this decision because it's certainly not easy for anyone involved . . . in a normal situation that is. Again, I'm not sure what is going on with this one. I just want people to understand that sometimes there really aren't any other options.

Like I said, if it truly is that her father needs help I understand. If she is trying to take his property from him in his last days, she's the lowest of the low.I can't argue with that, because things like that happen too.

Certainly. But I don't think it helps her cause to remain completely silent and not have her side of the story heard.
If she were after money, I would think that she would have grabbed the deal.
But she didn't.
If she's trying to get him into a nursing home because that's what she thinks he needs, maybe she means well.
If that were the case then she wouldn't have made a counter-offer of $85k.
