Except in certain circumstances, state courts do not generally have jurisdiction over out-of-state... Read more »

It is not possible to answer your questions without actually reviewing the powers of attorney that you hold. You also would be well served by consulting with an elder law attorney to not only review the powers of attorney but also give you some advice about Medicaid crisis planning.

An Ohio attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Across the nation in general, the homeowner would usually be liable in such a setting. If you have homeowner's insurance, look into whether the loss would be covered under your policy. Good luck
