I confronted him. He hit me knocking me down.I have another brother. We all 3 agreed to pay her mortgage and life insurance. He now says he will pay 1/3 of the insurance and nothing on the mortgage. What can I do?

The minute I was hit I would call the police and make an assault report. No way I’d let that go. With your mother in nursing home care, there’s no reason to continue paying for her home when she can no longer live there. It needs to be sold to provide funds to pay for her ongoing care. Have no more business dealings with your clearly unstable, criminal brother. Find a good elder care lawyer and communicate through the lawyer only.

This, of course, is criminal.
You go to the police, your local sheriff or the DA.
You also report the assault.
What else would you possibly do with a criminal?
Moreover, you do this at the time it happens, not after writing a Forum. The police will want to know why you didn't report this assault right away.
You can also call APS (Adult Protective Services) and ask that they examine brother's records and assume protection of your elder.

I'm not going to ask the same questions Alva is asking in her response to your post because she pretty much asked everything I would.

If your brother was your mother's caregiver for five years, he had a right to get paid for his caregiving services. He does not however have a right to lay hands on you or anyone else for that matter. You should have went directly to the police and pressed charges because that is assault.

He does not have that right unless he convinces the parent to sign over half the house or whatever, which is what you did.

Hi Dsullivan, when you brother knocked you down, you should of called the police.

But I have a lot of questions. It seems you may be having a hard time figuring out how to navigate the forum. Keep playing around with it and reading others post and you will figure it out.

Your moms in a nursing home now?

Your brother was her full-time caregiver?

Is he POA?

Did your brother get paid anything or any compensation for taking care of your mom for 5 years? I think he should have, but that doesn't mean it's right.

Did he loose his job, to care for your mom?

Did you and your brother help him?

Under this it will say reply to anxietynacy. Touch that to answer me
