Legal Question in Elder Law in New York

Lien for Parental Care
My mother who is an LPN(Licensed in CT) provided over six months of health care for my grandmother. Resulting from a conflict, my grandfather removed her from the home. My mother wishes to recover her employment losses and personal financial contributions. Does she have grounds for a case?

Re: Lien for Parental Care

If there was a verbal contract that the

grandparents would pay for the services

there can be a recovery

If there was no agreement as to the payment

there will be great deal of difficulty in

this regard

a lawsuit in quantum meruit for the value

of the services rendered being necessities

may be brought but a court could rule that

the rendering of such service was a gift
