parent is in skilled nursing home temporarily. Estranged siblings are trying to have her released to them and they want to put her in a permanent home instead of her home where I have been caring for her. There is no durable power of attorney. What can I do?

Re: elder care

If parent cannot make own decisions, then you should consider becoming your parent's conservator. If you're in southern California and would like help with this call me.

Re: elder care

Such disputes can usually only be resolved with filing for a conservatorship. If several do that, the court will pick and choose who it thinks is best. Seek a local attorney, or feel free to contact me if you want legal help.
