My 62 year old brother is being placed into a nursing home by a local government adult protective services. No one is currently his guardian, or POA. I am one of two brothers. The nursing home sent me a 50+ page nursing home agreement that they want me to sign as his "responsible person".
I agreed verbally to be his medical proxy, I made it clear I did not want to take on guardianship at this time. I live in Florida. He is on social security disability. He is legally blind, and late stages of Alzheimer's disease, requiring around the clock assistance.
What happens if I do not agree to sign the document? I do not want to be legally bound to paying his expenses above what medicare/medicaid would pay.
