Got a feeling the shipped has sailed on this but asking for some advice...
Mother-in-law is in good health but basically no mobility, and has been in assisted living for the last month, with slim odds that she will be able to live by herself again.
Since my father-in-law passed away a few years ago, she did get a lot of the paperwork put in her name.
Has a modest house paid for, some life insurance money left, and a monthly income from the state and social security.
It seems 5 years is the magic number when it comes to Medicare (and that's where the ship has sailed...we are just starting to do this now).
We are trying to plan the next steps with her: does anyone recommend an elder law lawyer? Preferrably in Western North carolina.. but I think anywhere might do. M-I-L is in northeastern NC.
thanks
