Legal Question
Payment for Guardianship action
My Mother is in a nursing home in Chester County, PA. She gave my cousin Power of Attorney 2 months ago. The nursing home is refusing to recognise the Power of Attorney and has filed a petition for Guardianship. We have retained a lawyer but are not happy with him so far. I have been told that in cases such as this, if the defendant (my Mother) does not have assets, the County would pay her legal bills. Is this true?
