Visiting his attorney on Monday morning with his other daughter, Virgil revoked Darla’s power of attorney with his own shaky handwriting, appointed co-agents, and uncovered nearly $110,000 in mismanaged rent before forcing Darla to sign a repayment agreement during her tearful Wednesday nursing home visit.
With the rent successfully redirected to cover nursing home costs, reimburse the narrator’s four years of personal financial sacrifices, and secure a stable ten-year lease for Ronnie instead of an underpriced sale, the family’s assets were fully protected.
Restoring peace through accountability, Virgil eventually began welcoming Darla’s regular visits to review rent statements together while spending every first Sunday discussing crops and cattle with Ronnie at the fence of the land he first marked in 1958.
