What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
Here is the situation. My grandmother (going to be 82) was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She had been getting a little forgetful, but it's not like her symptoms were that bad. She recognizes everyone..knows what is going on..etc. Her deficit only becomes apparent when you give her a "hardcore" test i.e. make her copy things, add. I had not noticed any major red flags when speaking with her..
When I say recently diagnosed I mean brain scan just came back on Tuesday. My aunt took her into her house to take care of her. She has already consulted an attorney, and they are going to move to clean out the house on Saturday so they can sell it. I think that is a little quick. There is no need to sell it that fast. If she does have to go into a home, then it's not like the state would not be able to go back and collect on the house/proceeds anyways. They can go back 5 years in PA.
I technically do not have a claim, but I am representing the other "possible" heir to the property my mother-not formally, but my mother is suffering from mental illness, and I am trying to be aware of everything that is going on. I am not even concerned about the money part. I just want everything to be done correctly.
Is this moving too quickly? Would there be any need to move this quickly? I think the selling of the house would break my grandmother's heart. She really remembers everything and recognizes everyone. It is hard to tell she has the disease unless you really tax her cognitively. Any assistance is appreciated.
