Can a nursing home sue me if I am my friend's Trusted Agent?

No, as his POA they cannot sue you.

Who is handling his finances now? MediCal is not paying the full ride. If ur friend is on Social Security that must go for his care. As Worried said, to be on MediCal he is only allowed 2k in his bank account. If he draws out of his bank account, MediCal will eventually catch it and ask why. Like said, all money he receives go to his car. Even if he has a house, none of his money can be used for its upkeep.

I never heard of a Trusted Agent. POA yes. If he is competent he can assign you. You can then pay the NH as his representative but you cannot pay yourself back. His money can only be spent on his care.

I have a feeling your friend does not understand how this all works.

Your friend can’t just give away his money. All of his income should be going to the nursing home with the state paying the remaining balance. Unfortunately once you are on Medi- al and in a nursing home, you really can’t pay your debts or give away your assets. First and foremost your friend needs to pay his nursing home bill. Please don’t screw your friend over by accepting his money. The California tax payers thank you for doing the right thing!!! Your friend is only allowed $2k in assets.

Unless you have a written loan agreement signed by your friend when he was deemed competent, you do not have a leg to stand on.

You need to double check with the state as to how much money your friend can have and still get Medicaid coverage.
