In the last 4 years, I’ve been my mother’s POA. She’s currently living in an assisted living facility. This past September I was diagnosed with cancer and I’m in stage 4 cancer with limited time left. I don’t have anyone in my family who’s willing to be her POA.
What will happen to her after I die? I currently handle her finances and I’ve been trying to reach out to the facility that she lives, but they don’t respond back!
I have told my family to contact APS and have them appoint a legal guardian who will place him in facility care and handle the day to day decisions. None of my family want to apply to be guardian.
I found this solution to be the best for us, since no one wanted to be guardian, but was okay with handling the finances, and I can trust my family.
If no one wants to be Trustee, the elder attorney can let you know options.
I wish you prayers.
Good luck and love to you!
I just want to say, so sorry .
(((Hugs))).
See an attorney, and know I am so sorry for your diagnosis. And sorry for the prognosis of limited time left. There are so many ways to fight this disease now; I trust you have gone through them all with your docs. I am sorry.
