My mom is on Medicaid and SSI and my dad takes care of her at home. She was my granny's POA until she got sick, and I am now my mom's guardian. However, my granny (her mother) is in a nursing home on Medicare, and has no POA.
There is a car in both my Mom's and my Granny's name (says "OR" instead of "and" on the title). Are my father and I able to sell this car? I know this is very complicated, and people keep telling me to see an attorney, but we have little to no money to spend. Any help is appreciated.

Never had a problem. Once you state that the vehicle is sold in an 'as is' condition, no warranty expected or offered" and the car is sold, all the problems were the new owners.
As far as Medicare issues--there I am clueless. I was sellling cars under the $5K level.
My SIL will be taking my MIL's car from now on and using it for the forseeable future to ferry MIL to all and sundry Drs appts. Probably MIL will just hand the keys and title to SIL w/o any documentation or fuss. Her car is probably worth around $20K, but since SIL is taking the lion's share of toting MIL around from now own, seems a cheap deal. Makes me wonder if they should do this legally, but I don't have a voice in MIL's care.
