Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Are dad passed. Our mom has been declared incapacitated, in a nursing home and on Medicaid. She has assets under $100,000.00. So it is my understanding that we can't get power of attorney, only guardianship. does the state of Florida pay for this? Also are there any alternatives other than guardianship? Thank you.

You have to pay for a private guardianship.

Use of a lawyer is recommended.
