If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
Yes, if the surviving spouse does not apply within the period allowed after death (the time period is very short, like 20 days) then one of the children can apply to be personal representative. The child would need to retain counsel.

What can we do to keep from paying all her money to the nursing home?

Answered by attorney Don L Rosenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras, P.C.
Honestly this is what I do for a living. If your mother is married I can protect all of a married couples money except for possible income tax consequences on IRA's etc... As for a single person we can protect somewhere between 50% and 70% of the assets and accelerate Medicaid qualification. I need to know more about your situation. I have been doing this for 30 years and have never been denied a Medicaid application. Further, it is usually never too late to plan.

How can anyone else be given the POA if the person who appointed someone to have POA has dementia?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
Yes, they can decline. The POA should have named a successor! Maybe the POA gives the appointed agent the right to designate a successor?
