Gene,
Sorry I haven't posted to this thread until now. I've read through everything and Mavis needs to speak with an attorney immediately. doesn't matter how she is feeling physically and/or emotionally. You _have_ to find a way to broach it with her. Mavis's ability to live her own life has already been compromised by her daughter and I bet it's only going to get worse. That's not even factoring how this situation has impacted you.
If you (or Mavis) can't afford an attorney, it might be worth contacting local law schools about pro bono work. Same goes for the CA bar. They might be able to help you find someone who can help you _and_ Mavis.
Also, have you contacted Eldercare? I found it via an Ask Amy column. Sounds like they might be a good source of info.
If not, give them a call for yourself _and_ Mavis.
To me it sounds like you're ready to give up on yourself and Mavis. That's not the GeneL I've gotten to know in the forum. I think once you make a little bit of progress in resolving your situation, that success will inspire you to keep moving forward in a positive direction. Wish I could do more unfortunately that link is all that I can offer.
