What can be done if the DPOA and DNR forms were incomplete and resident was not resuscitated in ER?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
I doubt there is any liability on anyone's part. The deceased apparently wished not to be resuscitated because he or she signed DNR and DPOA forms, even if they weren't properly witnessed. The hospital needed someone to confirm the DNR, relied on the information the nursing home had been given by the family, and contacted the person everyone believed had the authority to respond. That person confirmed the deceased's wishes. The hospital didn't have time to contact everyone who might have an opinion on the matter because it was an emergency situation. Even if the documents were invalid, the hospital contacted an immediate family member and asked for directions. Once given directions, the hospital complied. The only way there might be some liability would be if the DNR and DPOA were forged by someone who knew that the deceased had other wishes.

If my mother and I are co-owners of a condo, when she dies is it automatically mine?

Maybe; the deed may say that you are "tenants in common," or "not as tenants in common, but with right of survivorship." If you are tenants in common, her interest needs to transfer through probate.

How can I ensure that my brother will receive the property in the event that I died?

I assume that if the mortgage is in your name, then you are the deed owner of the property. You need to make a will leaving that property to your brother. As long as he continues to make the mortgage payments, he'll be fine.
