all the money from the settlement was spent already on her care. There is no money left.

All the money is mostly gone. But it sure didn't go for any rehab or care. That all ended when Mikey deposited the check in 1992. Here is an accounting of the funds(including pre-payment of her cremation with Greer's blessing from funds that were intended for her rehab):

The following expenditures have been paid directly from Terri's Medical Trust fund, with the approval of Judge George Greer:
 

Summary of expenses paid from Terri’s 1.2 Million Dollar medical trust fund (jury awarded 1992)

NOTE:  In his November 1993 Petition Schiavo alleges the 1993 guardianship asset balance as $761,507.50

Atty Gwyneth Stanley Atty Deborah Bushnell Atty Steve Nilson Atty Pacarek Atty Richard Pearse (GAL) Atty George Felos	$10,668.05 $65,607.00 $7,404.95 $1,500.00 $4,511.95 $397,249.99
Other
1st Union/South Trust Bank	$55,459.85
Michael Schiavo	$10,929.95
Total  $545,852.34

After 11 years of interference with carrying out his wifes request her husband has been forced into a lifestyle that he wouldn't have gone to had he been allowed to carry out her wishes.

This is Michael's $400,000 house, complete with an oval pool in the back yard. He and his "fiancee" have his and her Mercedes. All this on a nurses salary??? What a tough lifestyle to be "forced" into, wouldn't you say??

Hubby lives in a fancy house with luxury cars while Terri has languished in hospice for 5 years without even basic  rehab as is her retained right under Florida statutes. All the while being on Medicaid.

MS's lawn has slugs! Just look at the condition in the picture!

"all the money from the settlement was spent already on her care. There is no money left. "

You bring up another interesting point. With the medical liability reform being pushed, Ms. Schalvo would only be entitled to $250K for pain and suffering for all that she has been through assuming she were to awake 13 years after entering this state. Is that right? I personally was one of the few people on this board who are against this legislation for cases just like this.

amazing post, thanks. I just figured out that he kept her on medicaid by taking assets and puttting them into a big house. medicaid requires spending down but exempts the home. He won't divorce her as half of that house is hers.

She has to die for him to make out like a bandit.

$485,000 in Terri's Medical Trust money spent on lawyers trying to kill her. How romantic!

Thank you so much for doing the legwork and providing the data. MS is despicable to have denied the promised therapeutic care (which he dangled in front of the jury in the malpractice suit) and to have spent that money on attny fees trying to do away with his inconvenient wife. There must be a special place in Hell for such a person.

Where are the expenditures for medical care and living expenses?

I only saw attorney expenses.

Do you mean to say that Terri's care has been paid for by taxpayers under the Medicaid program?

Well I never. Michael Schiavo is a double dipping parasite.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh my, the poor thing has been suffering.

Half of that is LEGALLY Terri's. Could we call this a motive for starvation....

Nothing like her setranged husband living large.
