I already have one in place, but it is a general one I found on-line and am not sure if it is Medicaid compliant. Although I realize my best bet would be contacting an elder care attorney, but they are so expensive and we have limited funds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..
Most cities have pro-bono (free) legal aid for those that are low income. If there is a subsidized housing project or HUD office in your city, they probably have legal aid clinics during the year. So look into that. Also most law school provide pro-bono services, so call about that. Almost all these programs require documentation that they are low-income (old taxes, current SS or retirement statements) and elderly.
Your mom gets SS, use some of her SS income to pay for the legal that she needs and also use it as an opportunity to update her DPOA, MPOA and will.
