Question

My dad is hospitalized with demetia caused by Alzheimer's and will need long term care. Is there any way to keep his estate from being all spent on the facility? He did not create a durable power of attorney nor a healthcare proxy and is a resident of Massachusetts. Thank you.



Answer

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. You need to speak with an attorney immediately about the possibility of guardianship, as well as what might be done to ethically coordinate property and assets with medicaid. Please feel free to contact our office if you would like to speak with someone immediately.
