Q. Elder law. Hello. my mother is 85 . how can I get control of her finances?

August 15, 2022

A: If you can get a POA then you can handle matters but so can she. A guardianship cuts off her ability to handle matters and is more sweeping. Up to you.

Q. I and my Sister in Law are Tenants in Common. House immediately passed to us outside of probate after my mother passed.

August 10, 2022

A: If she has joint title with you, she gets equal access. Thus, you cannot prevent her entry. If there are personal items to secure, remove them to another location. Unless the items are titled in some way, no one can ever determine who owns what.

Q. Can NYC marshal garnish my pay to collect default judgement on a home equity line of credit?

July 14, 2022

A: Yes. That is the point of the Marshal.
