<prompt> Human: So my moms been intubated and sedated, bills are coming due. Ive tracked down most of her paperwork and am beginning to enact the POA. Now that Im seeing her accounts, Ive come to find out shes way over her head in debt. Shes retired and on a fixed income of about 2800 per month. Shes amassed a 50,000 home equity line of credit maxed.Credit cards: at least 8 active cards with a combined debt of roughly 50,000 Im still discovering more that will likely get me close to this number.The maintenance on her debts will render her unable to pay any other bills, in fact shes been amassing these cards to pay her bills creating a massive domino effect.Im at a total loss as to what to do, if I even pay the minimums on all this debt, shell be totally broke. If she survives and does not need a nursing faculty, she will not be able to keep going like this.Any help is appreciated.  <response>: Definitely book a consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer or two. In my state, Mom would be allowed to keep the condo and a car. She would reaffirm the home equity LOC and still be responsible for it, the rest would get written off.Do not sell the condo to pay unsecured debt. I hope your Mom gets well soon. Best wishes.
