You need to consult with an Elder Law attorney. Preferably one who is a CELA (Certified Elder Law Attorney) Your issues are too complex to answer here. You may need to file a guardianship, and take over payments, but you will not be liable for the care. You can call my office if you would like some assistance, otherwise use Lawyers.com to find the name of an Elder LAw Attorney in the Cherry Hill area.
