My brother is POA for our mother, and wants to turn it over to me. She is in a care facility, has medi-cal. We pay $900 of her $935 social security check to the facility. Because she owns a home, they said that when she passes, the cost of her stay will have to be paid back. But the problem is one of our siblings took a reverse mortgage out for our mom and stole $180,000 and now we had him convicted of financial elder abuse and is ordered to pay restitution of $1,200 a month. That has been a problem.
The mortgage now stands @ $280,000 so by the time we sell her home, pay the loan back, there may be no money left to pay back the facility or medi-cal! Can or will they legally go after the POA or her children for reimbursement?
