Dealing with issues for first time in our family. My grandfather just died. My grandmother is in a nursing home, and on Medicaid. As we understand it, she will now come off Medicaid until all of the funds that my grandfather had are depleted. She is close to being mentally incapacited but did sign a durable power of attorney so we can handle her affairs. Question: How do we go about selling their home? Can it be sold with the use of the durable power of attorney? And, then do all the proceeds go to the state? Prior to my grandfather passing away due to ill health, he had my grandmother's name taken off the checking account and my father put on so he could help him pay bills, and he is now paying the expenses for the funeral from this account. This money is really now my grandmother's money and will be used to pay her expenses. What is the best way to handle this checking account?
