I am looking to sell our paid-for home and buying something smaller so I can better care for husband as long as I have him. I/We have been prequalified for a mortgage. Once we've moved, I will sell our home. I have a POA for Sale, but I currently have no control over the various annuities and IRA. I don't know my next best step. Thank you
My heart goes out to you and your husband.
See an elder law attorney.
Pls see a certified eldercare (aka elder law) attorney immediately. Not just any attorney. Eldercare attorney. Not cheap but oh, so so worth it.
Good luck.
That is why it is so important to find a certified elder law attorney and not just an elder law attorney. Any attorney can sign up with naela without any qualifications for the job title.
wwww.nelf.org can help you find a certified elder law attorney in your area.
I have found that they are more reasonably priced because they do thos day in and day out.
In AZ, our elder law attorney drew up a LW. We had no issue with any medical professional not following it.
in behalf of your Husband But never, never give up your right to be the one who makes all the final decisions.
