I have been caring for my elderly mother for nearly 13 years, She is in ill health (due to hospital negligence). In all this time I have been taking care of her finances, medical, etc. My questions is, my brother and I are filing a lawsuit against the hospital, and wonder in the event that my mother becomes totally incapacitated or worse, passes away, how do we guarantee that the proceeds of the lawsuit will either go to my mother, or to us, should she pass. We do not have any money for an attorney, but I am willing to fill out all forms necessary and have them notarized. I feel very overwhelmed right now between worrying about my mother and now taking on this, so the simplest way to explain this to me would be greatly appreciated
As to what forms to fill out, sorry lawsuits are very complex, you need the guidance of an attorney.
