When she passes, My two grown brothers will still be in the home. One does not work (currently taking care of mom), and the other works a menial job and could no way afford to pay the property taxes, insurance etc to keep the house. I once mentiond that when when mom passes we will need to put the house up for sale and split the proceeds. They seem to think that they can remain in the house. Has anyone else been in a situation like this. I don't want to have bad blood, but I also don't want to have my name on a house that a. I'm not living in, b. that I will be legally responible for 1/3 of costs, and c. don't want to have to wait for my brothers to pass or move before I receive waht was willed to me. Has anyone else been in this predicament?
The house was always in trust to all 7 of us to keep things fair, but Mom's lawyer told us to put it in my name so the state couldn't take it when her money ran out. There is a law that says as long as I live with and care for her, they cannot take the house. We had a door cut through from our apartment to hers, to make everything legal.
So take care of this as soon as you can, and both you and your brothers should be set.
As caregivers, we have to protect ourselves from all kinds of legal sh!!!. There's are few laws that keep us safe, and very little help for our situations. Good luck and talk to your mom soon!
