My brother had POA first. Dad lived with him for 3 yrs until he abused dad, so between me and another brother we took care of dad. I then became dad's POA but by then my brother who was POA first spent all of dad's money now Medicaid is denying dad in NH what can I do to help? Other brother who was POA first refuses to talk to us. Thank you!
As things are, your father's money has vanished behind a door with Brother 1 on it. B1 is not talking to you. Therefore you will have to conduct investigations without his assistance. If there's a recorded history of abuse, that might be the place to start.
It would be helpful in situations like this if Medicaid had legal powers to compel disclosure, wouldn't it? Just musing. As far as I (only a foreigner) am aware, they haven't.
How much money was there? How much is nursing home?
