Joint Accounts of Elder Relative
I have an elderly single relative who has all of her funds in certificate of deposit accounts and savings accounts. All of these accounts are in joint ownership with different relatives.(none of which are a spouse) Are all funds subject to designation to a nursing facility if and when the time comes?

info on elder estate
I have a friend who has property in trust to him from his girlfriend of 25 yrs . He forgot what will happen to her if he dies first, he has asked me to become her guardian and wants to give me power of attorney to take care of her in case something happens to him. She has no family. He also wants to give me her house if she dies . iI am have no idea if this is going to be a problem . He is 87 and in very good health and as sharp as a tack . She is frail and has mild dementia . He has a power of attorney over the entire estate . I am just a friend . I dont want any problems. there is enough money to maintain her home and have a 24 hour nurse to care for her, So what is it I will need to help her maintain her ability to keep her in her home . and since I gave my word to help them both what do I need to do to keep my word and assist them both. He has a family if she passes on and they will care for him . It is her that he is worried about. I don’t like breaking my word . But I am confused on what I need to do. There re no relitives for her and it is very sad.

guuardianship vs dpoa
I am trying to apply for guardianship
over a man whom I have been his
caregiver for over 3 years. He has
no family. He does have demantia.
He already has amedial durable
power of attorney, but she is abusing
her power. If I were able to prove
this in court would I then be able to
have her removed if I was granted
guardianship? I know I could no
longer be his caregiver. He has short
term memory loss but is able to
make some health care decisions.

trust fund
My elderly mother is selling her home in Washington state to live with me in Colorado. Can her money be put in some kind of account that can be secured for her? My brother has power of attorney and my sister and I feel he and his family will deplete her money if he puts his name on her account. She does have a will and we are all to recieve equal amounts. She is also losing her memory, so we are very concerned about what we can do before closing.
