I have a question regarding power of attorney and HIPAA guidelines. My sister has a power of attorney for my mother. Can my mother revoke it, and under HIPAA rules, can the hospice tell me my mother's location if she consents? Additionally, if my mother agrees, can I take her with me, and how can I access her medical records and insurance cards if my sister refuses to provide them?

My husband lived in a marital home for many years without paying the mortgage, saving money in the process. I did not take over the house when I had the chance. He eventually disposed of the house via deed in lieu of foreclosure, which did not require him to include the saved money as income. Can I claim a portion of the money he saved during those years in our property settlement, considering I did not want the house but he lived there practically free for three years?

When someone dies without a will or executor and has outmaxed credit cards, are the children liable for making the payments? Additionally, if one sibling closed the deceased's bank account and the bank said the money would go to the government, is there anything the family can do to collect the money for cremation? Can they collect money from CPP for cremation? If the deceased had no assets except for a closed checking account and lived in a seniors home, are family liable to pay the August rent? If the daughter keeps using the deceased's credit cards and opens new credit cards, is this considered fraud and could she go to jail?

In a New York state foreclosure matter, where a mortgage debt was accelerated and a foreclosure notice was received in 2009, followed by a separate foreclosure action in 2017 with the same lender/servicer for the same mortgage, is the information and citation regarding the statute of limitations still legally relevant as a part of my defense, given that the six-year Statute of Limitations begins to run on the entire mortgage debt once it is accelerated?
