What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My mother suffered a slight stroke and is unable to write. Also Dementia has settled in. She doesn't have a will. She only verbally left me with instructions as to her wishes far has funeral arrangements, life support and resusitation(SP?). She's in a nursing facility in which Medicare will only pay for the first 20 days. I applied for Medicaid for her and she was denied because she was awarded a settlement from a bus accident she was in back in 2006.
She and my brother share an apartment in which they split the rent. My brother hasn't paid his part of the rent in a year. All the household bills are in my mother's name. He doesn't pay or contribute to that as well. I've been paying her part of the rent and her household bills. I want my mother out of the lease ASAP!!!
I have POA forms. How much will I have to pay a lawyer to get them signed? Is there another way for me that is less expensive for me to have POA on behalf of my mother. Can my brother fight me if I get POA? and if so what should I do?
My mother really needs Medicaid for she needs long term care. What can I do about that if they've already denied her? The money she recieved from the settlement was only $7000. That money is gone. They went by her bank statements to determine if she qualified.
I really need help.
