Power of attorney resposibilities
I have POA for my mentally challenged mother, prior to getting this POA she made some decisions which removed her medical insurance coverage. She then got sick, had to be hospitalized and needed the coverage so not having it has incurred some bills. With me now having POA can I be held responsible for her medical bills?

Residence on legal forms when out of country
I will be leaving the country in 6 weeks and will be gone for a year. I want to give my father power of attorney in case something urgent happens in the U.S. while I am away. Different states have different requirements for this and other documents I’d like to get in order (health directive, will, etc.). I am currently residing in Florida, my parents reside in Texas. Which state’s legal requirements should I use?

Grandma
I took in my grandmother three months ago; she is 92. I have power of attorney. She has liquidated her estate and has transferred all monies to me. As her health is deteriorating we want to move her into a nursing home. I have been told that unless her assets were liquidated or transferred for at least three years prior to her entering the nursing home that she will not be eligible for medicare or medicaid. Is this correct?

Power of Attorney
My grandfather is blind and caring for my grandmother with dementia. He wants for me to have a power of attorney for his financial and medical needs. I am unable to make a trip out of state at this time to complete the forms and have them notarized. I can download the forms and complete my portion but is there a way to complete the notarization without me being physically present?

Can the State of California Take it All
Our father has Alzheimers and is a total vegetable. Our mother died in Nov. 2004 and did not leave a will or trust. Our parents left their life insurance policies in each others’ names.
There is a checking account with my brother’s name and both parents’ names. There are separate IRAs in each parent’s name. My brother has Power of Attorney over my father because he cannot do anything like walking or talking.
The State of California has been paying for our father’s care in a healthcare home. Medicare stopped paying for my father’s care saying he has too many assets.
Is the bank account with our parent’s names and my brother’s name on divideable and if so, how?
We believe our mother’s life insurance policy goes to our father and when he dies, the State of California will take both policies. Would the same be true for the IRAs?
Can the State of California try to make my brother and I pay for our father’s care?
