In New York, an elderly family member with a second wife needs 24-hour care, and the sale of the house is planned to pay for it. The wife is alive and has rights to the house in the will if he dies. The prenuptial does not mention the house. The family member's children have been given both financial and health power of attorney, with the real estate explicitly listed in the power of attorney. The wife was not given power of attorney and is not helping with finances. What are the legal implications of selling the house to pay for care, considering the wife's potential rights and the power of attorney?

In a defamation case, if a clinic told another patient a lie about me, would this patient be considered a third party? Additionally, if an employee of the clinic falsely accused me of being a stalker and this was relayed to another patient, would this be defamation per se and an invasion of privacy claim?

My father is in Fairview Nursing Home in Queens, NY for rehabilitative care. His insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Medicare), was cancelled without his consent in May. The nursing home continued to bill Blue Cross, and when they did not receive authorization, Fairview applied for Medicaid without my father’s consent. Now, Fairview is seeking $415 from my father’s social security monthly income. Is it legal for Fairview to apply for Medicaid for my father without his knowledge or consent?

Worlds of Fun wrongfully accused me of stealing a hat from their store, treated me horribly, and banned me for a year without proper investigation. I want to know if I have a case and how to get the ban lifted for something I did not do.
