Surprise is correct about the lawyer. We realized that because of her age (growing up in a male dominated environment) Mom was more influenced by men and would do whatever a man told her to do, especially if it was a professional male.   That is why she signed her jointly owned home over to my stepfather's trust! Without our knowledge, he took her to a lawyer, and she signed everything they wanted her to - she was so happy by his re- assurance she could live in the house as long as she wanted to that she never realized the implications of the loss of  her equity of more than $100,000.   (They did not mention if she got sick and was in rehab or NH for more than 3 months, she forfeit everything and the house automatically went to his worthless children.  So she would be without a home, and no money to pay for NH!) Anyway, it doesn't sound like your mother can stop you from signing the house to your brother. If he refuses to accept it, there is always the threat that you have the authority to sell it to a third party who will evict him. Since it is worth so little, no worries about Medicaid issues - the value amounts to about 1 1/2 months of NH charges. If it were worth $200,000, that would be another matter.
Just a thought, but I bet once your brother owns the house, he will sell it quickly to get the money to live on in some crummy apt, and when that is gone, you will hear from him, begging for help!
