The needs of your mother are several, inclusive of Medicaid type planning, Trust & Wills, Powers of Attorney, Social Security "Representative Payee", health care Surrogate and perhaps LIving Will; and or pre need guardian for your mother.

You must be much more specific as to what her needs are and what her mental and physical capacity are at the present time -- both as to her person and give more insight into the nature of her property, holdings and assets in order to get any type of quoted fee from a law firm. It is best to phone and make an appointment for an introductory and exploratory discussion (on guardianship type planning) at an hourly amount from the law firm, and then request fee structure from your counsel. The full price may well vary by gegeographic location, specialty of the firm, complexity of the planning, whether tax, immigration, foreign matter are invovled, including other sundry -variables.

As to simply being a representative payee for social security, you can use your internet to exexplore that possibility.

Hope this helps some.
