What is the name of your state? NJ
My father passed away in 1989 from Asbestos Tumor. We had lawsuit against asbestos companies and my mother recieved settlement checks over the years. They were never scheduled. My mother had been in a nursing home the past 3 years and was there using her social security and medicaid. My sister had power of attorney. Anyhow, a letter came in a few weeks ago that a company wanted to settle with her and give her a check. Well, she passed away before she signed the papers to receive the check. So, can my sister sign the check? Does medicaid then receive the money? Do any subsequent checks go to medicaid or the state since she was in a home?
