Brian is challenging Sharon's share of their late mother's estate, alleging she misused funds while managing care during years of dementia.
Sharon says the questioned spending covered her mother's needs, including groceries, medical costs, transportation and other day-to-day expenses tied to Alzheimer's care.
Michael Hackard, an estate and elder-abuse lawyer, said using a parent's money is not automatically financial abuse if the spending clearly benefited the parent rather than the child.
Caregiving disputes like this often arise when 1 adult child handles both daily care and finances with little help, leaving bank records open to later scrutiny by siblings.
