Mom accured dementia after my youngest brother passed. Thats when my sister had her name listed as executor and POA.
Until your mother actually dies, the terms of her will are of nobody’s business except hers. Whether the POA was properly obtained is a matter that needs to be evaluated by an Iowa attorney who practices in estate planning and/or civil litigation.
He lives with me and I am his caregiver
You will need to hire an attorney who handles guardianships to assist you with this. It is going to require petitioning the Courts in both CA and Texas.
MMMNA from her employment & soc sec. Will she be able to keep all of her income? We know all of my dads will go towards his care.

In the matter of CDPAPvs. Zucker,10/11/19
in layman's terms, what was decided?
Does this decision affect the status of the PA as an independent contractor vs. an employee?
The court found that the Department of Health did not follow proper procedure in changing the way FIs are paid for services provided under CDPAP. Because they didn’t, the change was voided and they had to go back to the reimbursement method prior to 7/1/19.
This had nothing to do with... Read more »
My Wife's mother lives in Indiana, we live in Tennessee. She is stating that she is able to sue us for Filial Law so that we have to support her??
You have not been sued nor served yet, so no suit exists at this time. When you get sued, if ever, then you will need an Indiana Attorney.
