Written Contract
As POA for my Mom with Alzheimers, I entered into a contract with an assisted living home that she has been residing in. Mom can no longer live in this home and is moving. The home owner is stating that I'm non-compliant with an item on the contract, and is claiming I owe her additional $. She has hired an attorney. I received a copy of the contract that we both had signed but after reviewing the copy she provided me when we signed in October, it is very clear that she has altered the document she gave to the attorney. The date we signed it has been changed by 30 days. If she altered this contract in any way, isn't it now considered to be ''null and void'', rendering any of the items on the contract non-binding? THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE!

Re: Written Contract
No. An efforst to change a contract does not make the original contract void. You have a copy of the original contract. Those terms are still binding upon the parties.
