<prompt> Human: I apologize in advance for the long post. Also sorry if this isnt the right subreddit.In the 1970s my mother purchased several Series E bonds in the name of her 3 kids myself included. Her primary motive was to hide her money from her husband. I have no idea how many bonds she has in my name but she supposedly has 3 equal piles of bonds in a security deposit box. Anyways, fastforward 40 years and now she wants me to cash the bonds but give her the money. For example, she will give me a bond for my b-day as long as I cash 1 or 2 bonds for her Im totally responsible for taxes on all bonds though. She does the same thing to my older sister as well. Each time she claims she needs the money for a large purchase but she never ends up making the large purchase. In the past two years, my mom has either cashed or had someone cash on her behalf bonds worth at least 75k in interest. Yet she has absolutely nothing to show for it. So where is the money going? I believe the money is actually going to my younger sister who is completely financial irresponsible and unable to pay her mortgage divorced, no kids, refuses to sell 600k home because she has several dogs. Im really sick of the whole situation and want nothing to do with the bonds anymore. Here are my questionsconcerns:1.The bonds matured in 2005. Did the interest become taxable to me then even though I did not have physical possession of any of the bonds?2.Is there any way I can transfer ownership to my mother? Change the co-owner to her? 3.At what point does mooching off your 80-year-old mother become financial elder abuse? Im really concerned my mom is so desperate for bond money because my sister has blown through my moms savings in 2013 mom has 800 in interest on saving account, 2014 mom has zero interest from savings account. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks for reading!  <response>: Your name, your SSN, your tax obligation, YOUR MONEY.
