A Word To The Wise.
If you ever find yourself in a position to become guardian for a mentally imcompetent parent it's best not to use your parent's income as a personal slush fund. When your parent dies you have to account for every cent of their money you spent while you were the responible party. To give an example, if you turn in a receipt for over $5,000 of marble flooring it's best to at least make sure that the address on it matches the house you are claiming to have put in, rather than your mother-in-law's house. It's even better if you actually put the marble in.
After two days of conference calls between here and New Jersey we've managed to sort out about $60,000 in mis-spent funds and we're barely getting started. That's not including another $125,000+ that cannot be located or otherwise accounted for. Bullwinklette's aunt is probably going to be spending the majority of her quality time behind bars for the next several years. Not good for a mother with baby only 6 months old, but she should have given a little more consideration to that before she decided to rob an old man who could barely remember where he was. This wasn't anything less than a planned (poorly, but planned) scam of a supposed loved one, that being the case the baby may better off with mom away.

It's probably not a real good idea to go to Home Depot and charge materials to the credit of card of the parent then return them for a cash refund the next day. There are ways to check on things like that.
