Who makes legal decisions when putting a parent in a nursing home the granddaughter or children of grandparent?
It is generally the adult children of the elderly person that tries to get their parent into a nursing home if the elderly person is no longer competent to look after themselves, but in many States and in Canada this has to be doctor approved for the security of that elderly parent because some elderly parents are quite capable of living with their grown children or even on their own. However, either in a Will or if the elderly person is lucid (thinking very clearly) they can name anyone to become Power of Attorney to care for them if they do not trust their adult children's decisions.
What do you have to do to prove elderly parent mentally incompetant?
Seek the services of a mental health professional. If your parent is truly incompetent, it will not need to be "proven," it will become obvious with investigation. If they are not, and you are attempting to find out for your own convenience, you will not get that information from me.
Can a parent give money to an adult child before they sign up for Medicaid?
If the adult son is the one applying for Medicaid, money received from the parents prior to the application will likely have no effect on his eligibility. If the parent is the one applying for Medicaid and is a nursing home resident, please be advised that the Medicaid agency will investigate any transfer of assets by the parent, including gifts, that occurred in the 60 months prior to applying for Medicaid. The parent may be penalized for transferring assets without receiving "fair market value."
Can you get paid to stay home and take care of your elderly parent?
It depends on wether your grandmother will pay you or your family will pay you. Either way you should just do it for free. Do a good deed.
Can you drop medical coverage for your dependent children when they obtain state Medicaid coverage?
When a non custodial parent is ordered by the court to pay medical coverage, and the custodial parent applies for Medicaid that does not mean that the dependent child's medical coverage can be terminated by the non custodial parent. The ordered insurance becomes the primary insurance, and Medicaid becomes the secondary.

Can a inmates sign over power of attorney to parents for health of his kids?
There are a couple of forms a parent can complete for this. There is a Child Medical Care Authorization Form or a Child Care Limited Power of Attorney (includes medical). A Child Care Limited Power of Attorney is a document signed and notarized by a parent giving a non-parent authority to make decisions for a minor child. It is not a court order. It is typically used by a parent who is unavailable for a period of time and wants to grant authority to another person over their child.
Do all family members need to agree for one family member to get power of attorney of an aging parent?
Yes they can and sometimes it's a good idea in case one Power of Attorney is ill or needs to leave the country. Holding Power of Attorney means two things: Either your parent(s) has given you this trusted right and signs a contract or, the person is elderly, very ill, and proven by doctors not to be of sound mind.
