Hi and thank you so much for your warm welcome Slick132 - No my sister did not have power of attorney, or any authority to act in mums banking affairs whatsoever We are both executors and beneficiaries of the will, with no-one else appointed I do indeed have a copy of the Will Mums house was paid off many years ago and registered in her sole name. Miss Muppet - My sister is so manipulating and convincing that my fear is she will somehow talk her way out of this if i take it to the police....but if it is the only way, i will do it. My extended family are furious and want to confront her, ( they had their suspicions for many years, only wish they said when mum was alive) So there may be a showdown soon i think.... if we can get through the door!

My mum passed away July 2009, I become suspicious (along story) about my sister stealing from my mum and so requested her statements from the bank I found a lot of unusual and out of character activity on her accounts. Money withdrawn through ATMs consistently everyday to the maximum and often twice aday within a minute of each other And money was transferred between accounts. investments transferred and then cashed in. I am 100 percent sure this is my sister, as she was the only one with access to my mums cards and pin numbers. she also has a long history of theft, she forged mums signature at the bank and withdraw all her money 26 years ago and when my dad died in 1991 a house was sold and proceeds deposited into the bank. My mum never touched that money but it is all gone. so far £100,000 has been stolen but i have stopped counting as i feel so sick. i don't even think i have uncovered the full extent as i only have statements from 2002 - 2009 i have not said anything about this to my sister, as since mums death she has cut off the whole family and will not speak to anyone this is over the house mum left us, which she is living in and changed the locks. she is refusing to progress with the probate and wants to contest the will to take everything. I really don't know what i can do about this theft from mums bank accounts. i dont think i could live with myself if i did nothing and allowed her to get away with this. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
