I strongly suggest you contact a lawyer to represent your interests as soon as possible. The agent/broker is supposed to be working for you, the seller, and no one else. Most P&S agreements state the buyer is prohibited from entering the premises and/or doing work n the premises with the Seller's... Read more »
A solar company signed my dad (70 years old) into a 20 year contract. His signature was digitally signed by the representative who scammed my dad into buying the panels. He told my dad everything would be "free". That is all what he repeated through out. Not to mention, my dad speaks broke English... Read more »
I highly recommend that your father contacts an attorney to have a consultation regarding this issue. I have experience dealing with a solar panel company regarding fees and costs of the monthly installments and have successfully negotiated the removal of the panels and canceling of the contract....

She has been in nursing home since April, on medicaid since May,
and plan to move back to CA after the house is sold. Will this cause any problems with medicaid?
If your Mother is currently receiving Medicaid benefits, you should examine the Medicaid application she submitted when she first qualified for Medicaid. The application should list the home in which she owns an interest as a tenant in common. If you and your Mother own it together and if your... Read more »
I'm doing estate planning. If she dies, and I become incapacitated, who decides that I am? And how would that decision be made?
There is no one single correct answer to your question. These are issues that an experienced estate planning attorney can help you sort through in the process of preparing customized powers of attorney.
I'm supposed to appear in Hamilton County Civil court to defend against split of property by sale. Relatives lied to me, never had POA, spent Gma's money. I'm broke. My dad died 9 days before Gma. I got severely depressed, overwhelmed. Tried to get atty's to help, but over the last year 2 agreed,... Read more »
The ONLY way you can do anything to protect yourself is to go to the hearing and tell the judge everything you told us here.
Absolutely not.
In 2008, I was named in my parent’s estate planning docs mentioned above. In 2018, my parents had already had my sister caring for them.

Or, does a court review expenditures, as a matter of process, after a POA has been appointed? I can only guess it was a general POA. The principal (a PA resident) has, since, passed and, while I understand the POA was terminated with the principal's death, I fear the estate (small) is less than... Read more »
this is a very broad question so at best can give a general answer. If this was a POA pursuant to a written General POA signed by the principal (as opposed to a court appointed guardian or agent) then there is not much oversight unless the principal or someone on behalf of the principal reports...

My father was placed into a nursing home because we could no longer care for him at home medically. He received a discharge letter from the current nursing home saying they were discharging him because of non payment even though they have been making payments since he arrived there. They currently... Read more »
You have the right to challenge the discharge by filing an appeal with the Ohio Department of Health. It sounds like they have no proper grounds to discharge him. If you file the appeal within 10 days, then the nursing home must wait for the appeal to be decided before they do anything.... Read more »

If your parent did not previously sign a durable power of attorney and a medical power of attorney, then you are in the unfortunate situation in which you will need to go to court to have yourself appointed as your parent's conservator and guardian.

Not in Texas. You may want to help your mother enter a memory care or a skilled nursing facility, though if she is being neglected because you cannot care for her at home anymore (when would you sleep?), Adult Protective Services may step in. If she has a medical necessity for nursing home care,... Read more »
They moved her to Mississippi. Now the niece is refusing to let my husband and his brother into the house to get their dads personal stuff. She even sent a detailed email stating we could go in. Then called and retracted the email verbally. What are the rights of my husband and his brother. If any,
No attorney can opine without reviewing the will
2 of the 3 sisters are caretakers who have medical conservatorship but conservator has temporary financial conservatorship. Now the conservator wants to be made permanent.
Probate Code 2650 allows the court to remove a non-performing conservator "continued failure to perform the duties"). Any friend of relative can petition the court for this.
Certainly if the conservator wants an "upgrade" to their status, anyone involved can appear at the court hearing... Read more »
My wife's aunt lives in Texas and we live in Florida. We are concerned for her care as we don't believe she has anyone designated as a surrogate or anyone having a POA
Your wife's aunt could certainly hire a Texas elder law attorney to draft a durable power of attorney to allow your wife to help as best she can from Florida (assuming aunt has capacity to understand what she is signing after the stroke). More likely is that a care advocate will need to be hired to... Read more »
