Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: Privacy rights

A nursing home administrator cannot garnish anyone's wages unless that person is financially responsible for the ill family member by contract or operation of law. A power of attorney is not sufficient to make someone liable for medical bills.

I do not know why the nursing home administrator is making such threats, but you may need to speak with an attorney to protect yourself and your family member. Please feel free to call us if you want to talk about the details.
