My Father deeded the house over to his kids with life time use for my mother.

My Father deeded the house over to his kids with life time use for my mother, she is now in the nursing home. We are selling the property. How much does my mom get to go to the nursing home. What percent of what amount do we have to give to my mom for the nursing home. Can this be revoked?

aquiring an involuntary conservatorship

My mother is not well to handle her finances anymore without my help. She does not have the mental will to pay her bills on time and gets confused while looking at them or making phone calls. Ive helped her up to now but its getting harder for her to understand what she is paying for. I spoke with an attorney and he said my best route would to get a ''involuntary conservatorship'' over my mother.

Now the main issue is she thinks she is fine mentally but she is not. I do not have any mental evaluations to show she is not well. Just the evidance she isnt paying her bills without me. And not taking care of herself physically like taking showers or cleaning her clothes or any sort of grooming.

So my question is what do i need in court to prove she is not well?

Also she is 61 years old.

Answering a complaint on a civil suit

I need to respond to this complaint

needed in the introduction, and do I

need codes for the responses to the

cause of action. I know I will need a

attorney at some point, but this

needs to be address ASAP

property not returned

my stepson is using my bedroom and dining room furniture. He asked if he could use it until I needed it back In 2006 I asked for the furniture back and he said either he was charging me six thousand dollars to return it (a price he claims would cost me for storage) or he was keeping it. I had a storage unit and could have easily taken it there but he needed furniture and so I let him use it. Now that he won't give it back what kind of recourse do I have. This furniture origanally belonged to my parents and is a family treasure. He lives in Reno where I lived then but I now live in California. My husband his father is deceased. What can I do?

Elder Guardianship Bank Accounts

power of attorney and creditors

I have POA for my mother who has been in a nursing home for about 2 1/2 months. Social Services is working on medicaid approval. She owes over $15,000 dollars and the home keeps sending me notices to pay every 2 weeks. They know I am working with Social Services on this. We have complied with all thier requests and spendowns.

Does the POA protect my personal credit records and money from the Home? When I signed her in the home the form I signed said I was the responsible party.

Thanks

Joint tenant with right of survivorship & a mortgage

I am currently on a relative's home deed (The document is called a Quit Claim Covenant) as a ''joint tenant with right of survivorship'' but I am not on their mortgage. They are getting along in age and with the current economy have had difficulties keeping up. Currently I live separately from the relatives, but I am looking to move in and take over the bills. What will happen if my relatives pass and I am not on the mortgage? I would like to keep the home and continue to make the payments after they are deceased. My credit isn't the greatest, so getting a mortgage myself is out of the question. What should I do?

conververtorship

can a person who has raised a child from a baby to 18, who did not adopt this child and now the child is over 50 and married, legally can she get conververtorship? the 50 yr. old, had a stoke and is not competent at all to speak for herself.... the person who raised this child has documentation of how the husband has financial, physically, and mentally has taken advantage of the (50 yr. old) wife.....he has forged the signature on her 401K, and the back social security, has bought what he wanted and not for the stoke victim, his wife, and 3 times this stroke victim ended up in the hospital with broken bones and etc.....when the stoke victim, calls her children, they go directly to the father and that is when he shuts her cell off,so what i am really wanting to know, does this woman who raised this child, has a leg to stand on? the lady who raised her lives in new york and the stroke victim lives in south carolina, for you info....thank you

Answering a complaint on a civil suit

I recently got served for a civil suit

from my 90 year old grandma, she is

claiming that I schemed a plan for

her to take a loan out her house and

then spent her money. This is

completely false so I hired a attorney

to take care of this but he wants to

take this to mediation and has

charged me $7,500.00 so far and

nothing has been done. I don't have

anymore money to put into this. How

can I answer this complaint as pro

per and what are the steps I have to

take?

I have suggested to my attorney to

have my grandmother evaluated, but

he says he wants to wait. I think he

milking me for any money I can give

him

Civil Suit Retainer

We retained a lawyer for $2,500.00

for a civil suit. What does that

retainer do for us. Because he is also

charging us $385.00 per hr to handle

the case which is fine but he also

charging us by the hour for our first

consultation which took 4 hours of

repeating himself and every time we

spoke to him he charged us. So what

was the retainer for?
