Family refuses to sign form allowing state Medicaid to make modifications for a handicapped person in his own home. The home is part of a trust for him. In the past they have been angry because they want him to vacate and enter a nursing home so they can sell the house.

Is this person considered incompetent to make decisions? If he is compentent, even with a DPOA in place, he should be able to sign for the remodels himself.
I have DPOA for my nephew. But he can make his own decisions, I just oversee his finances.

It sounds like the person or their POA needs a consult with a lawyer experienced with trusts. If it is an ongoing battle perhaps a clarification needs to be made on the rights of the beneficiary of the trust to live safely in the home provided.

Mediation might be helpful.

We aren't lawyers and we don't have enough information. If you're not a trustee and the handicapped person is not legally competent, then not sure what can be done.
