What can I do after access to nursing?

What if your father died and he has a joint account with his mother who is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's how can you as executor of the estate get access to the money to pay grandmother's bills?

• Answer:

  Hopefully there is a Power of Attorney document as part of your Father's will. There should be some provisions, one would think, that being the executor of a person's estate would automatically grant them privileges such as this. You will need the advice of a licensed attorney no doubt.
