Hire an elder law attorney for a consultation. Call her doctor and report what is happening. Talk to her and ask her why she doesn’t want to live. Tell her how it makes you feel that she doesn’t want to live.

Get real.

Aside from a physical search you might try:

Yes, your mother keeps all of her income. If it is less than $3,216.00 she would be entitled to a portion of your dad's income to bring hers up to that level. Father is allowed to keep $75 of his income.

Most attorneys that will respond to this question will, understandably, want your business first and foremost. Here’s the truth. To quantify percentages of people who go to prison on the first offense it probably sounds like somewhere around less than 1%. But when you break it down, there are... View More

This is a complicated question, and I can;t answer it in the space I've been given for only one post. So, I'm going to give you the full answer, in two separate posts.

Here is part 1:

First, find the original deed (or document) that originally transferred the home to your... View More

It depends upon the level of dementia. If she doesn't have sufficient competency to understand what she wants, the law has provisions for who makes the decisions.

Sorry for your issues.

Unless you are deemed incompetent they probably cannot force you. You may want to explore other options including home health, Oklahoma ADvantage program (assistance provided at state cost to you), assisted living etc.

You should consult your physician for... View More

Sorry for your issues.

There are many things that can be done to protect the assets. With good planning a couple can preserve most of their assets.

That varies by county and by judge. If bail has not been set yet, then contact a bondsman in the area. They will likely have the best estimate on what it may be.

You probably should consult with an attorney on this one. Your specific case will be very "fact-intensive."

In order to sign a contract, you must have "legal capacity." If your grandmother did not have legal capacity (due to Alzheimer's), the next question to ask... View More

Medicaid is extremely complicated and it would be impossible to provide an answer based upon your scenario. For instance, you were not clear whether you or your wife is the person receiving benefits.

Yes, you may petition for Guardianship but you will need someone residing in Oklahoma to help "administer" the Guardianship - someone that the Court has authority over.

Typically, income is not considered in determining eligibility.

The usual age of eligibility is 65 years old. However, Medicare is available to those that have been eligible for Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months or who have end-stage renal disease.

Hope this helps!

This one can get complicated very quickly. For example, is the IRA in payout status? If so, the answer is yes. Is the person married? If yes, part of the IRA may be allocated to the spouse. Also, what is the total value of the IRA account?

The thing to remember, is that Medicaid can look... View More

I would recommend that you and the parent meet with an lawyer to discuss the situation. (Not just any lawyer. But a lawyer familiar with estate planning and elder law issues.)

If the parent has legal capacity and voluntarily agrees to do so, the lawyer can promptly prepare the necessary... View More

You may want to contact the Adult Protective Services division of the Department of Human Services. If this was an internet email dating scam they won't stop attempting to contact you. You could sue if defrauded but it is very unlikely that any attorney would take it on a contingency basis.

You should visit with an attorney who does trust litigation. It is likely that you are entitled to see all of the documents. If you know who prepared the trust, you might ask the attorney for a copy.

Yes, that is possible. A spouse is entitled to 1 vehicle of their deceased husband or wife, IF they want it, unless the title is held jointly with some other person. Sorry about your mom, hope she gets better, and that her new husband, IF they get married makes her life a bit better.

Less expensive method would be to conduct Adult Protective Services division of the Department of Human Services in your county, share your concerns, and ask that they check on your dad. You also may want to go over to visit him, and take a witness with you to video your asking to visit. You also... View More

First of all sorry for your loss.

The loaned money may be an asset of the estate. Much would depend upon various defenses the partner may have. You would file a probate action and sue as personal representative of the estate if the partner does not pay voluntarily.
