By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

fwiw doing a bond whose value is the sale price of a property that is an asset of an Estate is done sometime for Executors. Like if there is anticipated carping by heirs (or better yet their spouses) that the price sold of an asset wasn’t enough type of bs, the Executor gets a probate bond done to deal with this should it become an issue.
Do you have a copy of the LTC application done for your mom? There should be within it a specific time frame that any changes have to be reported to the State. That specific paragraph is what you want clarification from the attorney on.
fwiw For TX & LA applications, you as the POa sign off on the application that you will do this according to the policy of the State and can be fined or have the NH elders eligibility suspended if not followed. And for their annual renewal, it will want the latest tax collector bill of the home and it’s used to reverify that the property is the same, ditto for a car, the funeral policy etc. POA or spouse signs off acknowledging that all is true and accurate subject to fine or other action if not.
Find the paperwork/ forms and point blank ask this atty WTF. Do a trust and verify on this is my suggestion.
There is, I suppose, some slim chance that one of us here has had the same experience in Florida, but it's unlikely. Try now to call directly to the counselors at the Medicaid site for your state, and perhaps to see a Trust attorney rather than elder law. I think that you could see a TAX attorney or CPA as well, but I am at a loss because this home is in your name only. Much will depend upon your state's laws about how assets are held by a married couple. Also on how you did division of assets during marriage and whether you filed joint or married filing separate with your home kept separate from any of your wife's holdings--her not contributing to it financially with mortgage payments and etc. It can get so legally complicated.
How scary that you cannot get an answer from your state OR two attorneys!
