As mentioned, my uncle and his wife have taken my grandma and are paying one of their acquaintances to take care of her. There was a family argument before moving her, which is why they refuse to answer calls or tell us where she is so we can at least visit her. My grandma wanted to see her daughter, who came from all the India to see her, but it is not happening because my uncle's wife is not permitting it. Please let me know what action (legal?) I can take so we can visit her. Thanks!
Since you and the rest of the family are unable to communicate with the son nor his wife, curious how you knew that your Grandmother wanted to see her own daughter?
If everyone lives in the States, who has Power of Attorney for Grandmother? If no one does, then another son or daughter could start Court proceedings to gain full control over your Grandmother, which is very expensive.
Someone needs to bite the bullet and say they were sorry regarding the big argument. The family really needs to work as a team for the respect of the Grandmother.
It Grandmother doesn't have a Power of Attorney, that tells me she doesn't have a Will, either. Both are highly important. Otherwise the family will continue to argue over Grandmother's care and any finances she should have.
Just curious, has Grandmother lived here in the States for a long time, or did she recently come? If it was recently, then she needs to get some type of health insurance. She can't get Medicare because she didn't put money into Medicare through payroll deductions. She could get Medicaid, but in the mean time check with Kaiser for health insurance, the family will need to chip in the best they can.
And she does have healthcare as she immigrated here decades ago. Finances, fortunately, aren't an issue at the moment. It's just difficult when she's practically being forcefully cut off by someone who has no right to do so.
