What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC__Problem is in NH
Where to start. About 2 weeks ago my mom was admitted to the ER not feeling well. After many cat scans and MRIs we have found that she is terminally ill with cancer. It is in her brain,lymph nodes, lungs, breasts, kidney, liver, bones and everywhere else. She has 50 tumors in her brain. The DR deemed her incompetent to make decisiond for herself. All within 2 weeks. In the background the Social worker at the hospital is encouraging my brother to get Guardinship over her medical and her estate. Stating that this is the quickest way to make things happen because she has no will. During this time it has come to my attention that my brother is removing things from her house to prevent it from being counted for the estate. He is playing my other brother against me and vice versa. He is trying to convince us that being the guardian of the estate is important because the state is going to take control and sell everything including her pictures. My understanding is that when she passes the guardianship is null and void and it goes to probate court anyway. Isn't it true that once at probate court there is mediation to discuss the affairs of her estate and who gets what? if not do they sell everything off to equally dispurse assetts to remaining children? He is trying to convince me to give him this power. What does Guardinship over an estate give you power to do? I have tried to read so much on it but but I am conflicted with the information..Can anyone help me understand? I am concerned..especially since she is still alive and feel this is a violation of her civil rights even though she is not able to understand anything that is going on. Please, exuse any spelling errors. I am mentally exhausted with all this.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
