My husband and I have conservatorship of an elderly couple.
Acutally our neighbors who have no family other than a
niece who is in her late 70's with medical trouble and
lives in anther state. we are in california, we were told
by our lawyer that the conservatorship over rides the wills
and in the wills it state that the house would go to the
niece, who has told us she would sell it to us when the
time is appropriate. we have been told that the state,
(medical) would take the house because the wife is in long
term convelescent care. the husband still resides in the
home. We take him everyday to have lunch with his wife.
There are no outstanding medical bills, so how can the
state take away thier home? both had told us before the
wife became ill and in convelescent care that we could have
the house because they had no one to give it to, but
because of thier ages we didnt do anything as far as
changing the deed for we didnt want anyone to think the
wrong way and our main concern was thier care and well
being. Any advise? thank you
