Hi! The answer is simple: you can't force the POA-sibling to pay you. Unfortunately, your father chose your sibling as financial POA - this means your sibling can decide how the money is spent.

But: any chance your father is still mentally competent (despite the stroke)? I'm guessing not. But if he is, your father can easily create a new financial POA, (1) naming you, (2) revoking all previous POAs, (3) explicitly stating that you, as POA, are allowed to get compensated (this is important, because a standard POA document normally doesn't allow for any compensation).

There is 1 more way to have your sibling removed as POA: but it's time-consuming, stressful. If you feel your sibling is abusing/neglecting your father, you can get APS involved to investigate.

Naming you will not work. You cannot negotiate a contract with yourself. It would have to be a contract with you becoming dad's employee.

I was in this situation with my twisted sissies, but I was the 24/7/365 in home caregiver. Twisteds accused me of financial exploitation, had me investigated by APS. It was at that time I retained an attorney, or course, there was absolutely no exploitation and the case closed quickly.

I then did take them to court seeking payment, which l won to a point.

Why doesn't bro step in when caregivers call out? If he were taking his fair share of caregiving responsibility, then fine. But, it doesn't sound like that is the case.
