ALF had me sign admittance papers, for my mom, as POA. (Her husband, her primary POA, wouldn't sign) They have the money, but he won't spend any of it for mom's care. Now the ALF is coming after me for the portion her SS and pension don't cover. I can't afford an attorney. How do I get out of this?
You are not responsible to pay for her care, DH is.
I agree you need to seek the advice of an elder law attorney.
Or if you did, you signed your name "Jane Smith as POA for Dorothy Smith ,(your mom's name)?
Has her husband seen an Elder Law attorney?
Do you have access to MOM'S money? You need to hire and Elder law attorney with mom's money so that her NH bill can be paid.
Is mom on Medicaid?
