Q: Hi I'm looking for someone to read some legal paper work my mom nursing home wants me to sign
My mom is able to sign paper work due to a stroke from COVID-19 in February 2022 her nursing home wants me to sign paper work I don't understand
A:
I would imagine the paperwork is standard admission documents, financial documents, and likely advanced care directive documents. If your mom is going into a nursing home and had a stroke, you should likely setup a trust or will if you have not already for her, and you should probably work on getting power of attorney for her for financial and medical decisions.
You can pay an attorney to review the documents for you and let you know what they mean, but that would be costly. I would suggest an attorney that deals with medical malpractice cases, as they are used to seeing similar documents on a daily basis.
