He should certainly understand that and be damn glad that was the only punishment he gets for what he did.
He should be ashamed of himself. Does his wife know about this shit? What does she have to say about it?
My brother stole our Mother's identity........

He's always been like this.........a 53 year old loser/con man.........no conscience at all.
Then it is time that he suffer some consequences. Press charges against the prick.....
Here's the thing....
If you don't press charges, then you just reinforce the fact that he can get away with anything and that there are no consequences to his actions. Stealing $40,000 from anyone is a major fucking deal. But stealing that kinda money from your elderly mother.....that's lower than the lowest. You aren't doing him or anyone else any favors by letting him get away with it. I realize it's your brother, but I too have a brother that's good for nothing. My Mom enabled him until he was 30 years old. Once she finally said "enough is enough," he was faced with being homeless or joining the military. He had never even had a bank account until he joined the Army a few months ago.
Bottom line, if there aren't some major consequences for his actions, then he'll never learn. He's 53 for Christ's sake. It's time he learned something

I'm trying to persuade my Mother to press charges........she is very hesitate to do it because of the Grand Children.................I don't think I can press charges, think she must do it??
I hear you but man I really think he needs to be taught a real lesson............:SIB
I tend to agree with Bobby....She can get very sad & become sick if her son goes to jail....I would just change the will & see if your brother would agree to pay the money back....
Your family is in a tough situation & wish you the best....
Not sure...tried to call them both the past few days...........they're not picking up, screening calls.
He's stealing from his mother, he's already being taught the lesson. I understand why you want justice and want him to pay, but . . . .your mother's happiness is more important, IMO.
Good Luck. . . sorry your brother's an ass

The kids are getting up there. Kids are tough these days. I would have said work it out in the family but if he has done shit like this before I would press charges. Woodson gave really good advice about listing something in the will about this incident.

I can relate a quick story in my family.
Father , and two sisters. Elderly parants were still alive and middle sister was taking care of their bills and washing and house cleaning. etc
She ended up stealing 80,000 dollars in checks from their account. By the time she was caught it took a long time to figure it out.
My Dad got a lawyer and prosecuted. When it was all said and done she got probation. She was cut out of the will of the 80,000 she spent.
The topper was she took a vacation to Alaska, bought a new car. And no one knows what else happened to the money.
And get this..... she loaned a friend 20 K to help her go to school . >>>wtf
They when the will was read my Dad and the other sister got into a squabble over 10 k worth of property in a basement and got mad and they both stopped talking to each other.
Totally broke up the family and none of them talk to the other to this day. That was 28 years ago.
Its impossible to know the right thing to do in this situation.
Doubt the guy gets jail time though
