What is the law regarding selling my mother's home after she is put in assisted living?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If someone has a power of attorney that gives them the power to sell the home, they can do this. You may need to petition the court to be named conservator so you can handle financial matters. In either case, you must act only in your mother's best interests, and manage her money to get the best care for her. If she will spend a long time in assisted living, it is likely that she will spend all her assets for her care. Incidentally "diagnosed with dementia" does not mean incapacitated. You should continue to the extent possible to involve your mother in decisions and respect her wishes.

If I'm getting a check make payable to my father's estate and I haven't opened acct yet how can I cash it

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You cannot cash it until you open the account.  Nor can you legally sell the house until a court appoints you executor (if there is a Will) or administrator (if not).  Contact a local probate attorney.

Should we have a trust or flp or something else to protect future heirs

Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
Unless your combined assets total more than $10,000,000, you do nto need to worry about estate taxes.  Recent changes in the tax laws make almost everyone exempt from estate taxes.
