dispute over house belonging to grandmother with dementia

Yes, my mother has decided to take legal advice. She will be asking aunt not to take any further action whatsoever until she gets back to her after having spoken to a solicitor. I suppose the next step will be to go to the bank and ask them to freeze A's account until a third party can be entrusted with her financial affairs.

I really appreciated all of the responses as they've made me try to see the other side. I can see how the aunt might feel that my mother is trying to do the same thing -- take control and make unilateral decisions.

We would like to do something that doesn't completely ruin the family and personal relationships involved, but a huge amount of damage has unfortunately already been done. We'll see what we can salvage. Thanks again for reading and for the feedback.
