What is the name of your state?CA
My Mother was awarded bi-weekly paymts from workers comp in DEC 2001, because she had fallen @ work and was permanently disabled. Her attorney had told her she was getting a lump sum award, but the settlement award documents she signed was bi-weekly payments until death . I live in VA and at the time none of my others siblings in CA went to court with her when the docs were signed, she trusted her attorney. My mother past away last week
and I notified workers comp so the payments would stop. My mom owned her home and has other debts that will need to be paid. Is there any way that the payments can continue otherwise I'll have to sell her home. Can her surviving children receive the remaining balance of the award?
