What is the name of your state? Alabama
My friend is a caregiver for an elderly woman. She has been taking care of this woman for six years now. As part of the agreement, my friend would move in with the elderly woman and give her 24 hour care as long as it was feasible. In return, the elderly woman put her house in my friends name and gave it to her as payment for the care. (the name switch occurred about two years ago.) The elderly woman wrote out a will leaving all of her stocks, bonds, IRA's, and savings to my friend. (The elderly woman's family won't have anything to do with her now that she is having medical problems). Now, the elderly woman is progressing to the point that she needs to be in a nursing home with 24 hour trained medical staff. If my friend places her in a nursing home, she was told the state could seize all of her money and property unless they pay the daily rate (which they can not afford to do). Where does this leave my friend? Is their anything she can do to protect herself from loosing everything she has invested six years for? The elderly woman only has Medicare insurance. Please help!
