To leave your father in the squalid conditions he was in is definitely elder abuse. It is morally wrong. However, in the USA there is no legal responsibility for adult children to care for, or about, an elderly parent. So that's how they get away with doing that. Even more unfortunately, the local authorities are rather slow to intervene in such a situation, where an elder is living in filth or otherwise not competent to manage their daily life. That's because Americans place high value on letting people do what they want. The results of that are sometimes unconscionable.

You’re right about what you said. My loser sister intends to steal the house from me & maybe even my mom too.
My mom trusts her unfortunately so although my mom is the trustee according to this lawyer I recently had a consultation with, she is supposed to send me the legal paperwork when the time comes.
My mom blocked me on her phone years ago. I think
My sister convinced her to block me.
The lawyer said that my mom will be held in contempt of court if she doesn’t send me the paperwork then so in that case, the trustee status will be given to me then.
I can’t afford a lawyer unfortunately as they charge a lot & I don’t think that they offer payment plans.
My only option then is to file the legal paperwork myself in that county. I live 7 hours away from them
I work f/t & I’ll start a second p/t job in a frw weeks.
So I’ll have no time to do anything, ufh. I think that I’ll probably loose everything & get nothing when the time comes
My husband refuses to help me with anything unfortunately. It’s like he doesn’t care if we loose out on inheriting a house to where our portion of the sales would probably come put to at keast $200000.
My mom is extremely naieve & stupid. My sister might even be able to steal whatever was supposed to go to my mom. Everything is supposed to be divided equally.
No information was given about where my moms jewelry will go to or where the money in the checking & savings will go.
My sister has ful access to the safe & the accounts.
My dad is obviously very stupid & crazy as he still thinks that my sister is a good person & that she still cares about him even after she left him to die probably in a filfthy house.
I don’t understand why he didn’t move out sooner as he has good life insurance that pays for everything for the assited living facility.
APS was called but I don’t think that much can be done without proof. I guess being abandoned in a filfthy house isn’t enough to qualify as abuse.
It sickens & disturbs me to know that my evil sister will end up getting away with everything while I get nothing at all probably.
Then recently my dad decided to stop talking to me. She probably got freaked out that I called APS & that I know what’s going on.
She is an extremely manipulative & desperate career criminal, ugh!
What are my options now?
