Legal Question in Elder Law in North Carolina

If she has no powers of attorney, she likely needs a guardian for the person and perhaps for her property, too, depending on her assets and how they are titled. Her social security can be managed through the representative payee process with the Social Security. If she ever needs Medicaid, she will need a guardian to apply if she is not capable of doing so herself and has no power of attorney in place.

This is not legal advice, and you should hire a lawyer to represent you.
