Complaint Review: Pippin - Wyoming Delaware

I am replyig to this to elaborate on the information. This woman is my mother and she is being scammed by this man! Mom and I had a little bit of a rift a couple of years ago, and have seen little of each other since, untill recently. She has become quite ill and she wished to see her grandchildren. She had Hospice contact me to make arrangements to see them. When we went to visit her, she didn't remember any of us. Mom is 90 years old and has a bit of alzhimers as well as emphazema. She is on oxygen and has 24 hours health care. I was lead to believe that her health care was provided by Hospice. We had a nice visit and she later told Hospice that she enjoyed it very much and wanted to see us again. We worked out our difference and left on friendly terms. We made plans for a return visit. Two weeks after our visit, a coworker made the comment that she didn't know my Mom's house was up for sale. I was shocked and told her I didn't know either! She showed me the newspaper where the deed was recorded and the house was sold to Mr Pippin! Let me explain this a bit more. During the time my Mom and I weren't speaking, she befriended Mr Pipin, while making arrangement for a pre-burial contract. When he learned that she was alone, he became very friendly with her, ingratiating himself and visiting her often. When she became ill, HE placed the health care people in her home, THEY ARE FRIENDS OF HIS, and not associated with Hospice at all. Hospice tells me that these people were already in place when they were called in, and they only visit her once a week! Also they couldn't give me any medical info or her doctors name, because Mr Pipin told them that he was the only one they could talk to! After he got his people in place, he coerced my Mom into giving him power of attorney so that he could "handle her affairs". At this time she had over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the bank, money that she and my Dad had worked hard for all of their lives. She had a will in place that left everything she owned to my children at the time of her passing. Mr Pipin used ALL of the money she had, and then, with his lawyer, went to her house and had her sign papers selling her house to him as well. His lawyer not only signed the papers as the attorney for the realty, but as a witness AND he notorized his own signature! I got copies of the transactions and went to talk to my Mom. She said that she DID NOT sell her house to him, that he would have no use for it. (The transcation took place 2 days after my first visit with the children). She told me that she wanted to fight it, the house and all she owned was to go to her grandchildren, just as she and Dad had always planned. While I talked to my Mom, and told her I would get a lawyer to help her, the woman that was caring for her (Mr Pipin's employee), notified Mr pipin of what was going on. When I returned the next day to get things started to help Mom, she refused to sign anything because Mr Pipin told her NOT to! This time she seemed confused, where the day before she was alert and knew me and my son, this day she wasn't sure of anything except that Mr Pipin said she couldn't sign anything. That's when the health care worker stepped and and started screaming at me to leave, that I had no business being there and trying to undo Mr Pipin's work. At first she said she knew nothing about the sale of the house (the health care worker), and then a few minutes later said that the house was sold because there was no money left in her (Mom's) account! It should also be noted that the money from the sale DID NOT go into my Mom's account, but into Mr Pipins'! It should also be noted that the Department for Abuse of the Elderly in this state was contacted, and I was informed that they knew of Mr Pipin's dealings with the elderly, but could do nothing about it! This tells me that my Mom is NOT the only one this man has scammed!
