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

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Is she married? If so an asset division may be possible. If not, do her assets exceed $350,000? If not, what is her monthly income and what is the value of her assets? You may wish to consult with an attorney who does elder planning. There may be options, but there may not be any. It all depends upon the facts of her specific situation.

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
You can forget about the notarized letter as it is not legally sufficient to act as a Will. However, according to the facts you set forth your Mother's children would be entitled to half.
