poa
my mother has osteoporis and alzimiers. Two of us have dual power of attorney. We do not have to agree together. Question, if my mother has to have full care at home or a care facility, can my sister sign her house and property to anyone to avoid house going into probate to pay for her medical care. I am very against it. She justs wants to home. Thanks
Re: poa
I agree with Ms. Powell's response but want to add a couple of things.
First, let me know what city you are in, so I can recommend an attorney who specializes in this area.
Second, if you and your sister have very different opinions, you may have to get your own attorneys. Naturally, this can be expensive.
Third, if you transfer your mother's home and property to a 3rd person, the "look-back" period is now five years. That means it won't "count" for Medicaid for five years.
Fourth, if your mother wants to stay at home, you should try to respect that decision to the best of your ability. There are lots of places you can call that offer assistance.
Let me know what city your mother is in.
