Elderly mother is in congestive heart failure and in hospital with blood infection that will require extensive IV therapy. No estate planning was done. Parents divorced, father passed and 1/2 house was to be split between 5 kids. We prefer to bring her home but she might need to go to rehab, not sure she will make it out of rehab and may have to go into long-term care? Daughter living with her and took care of her could be homeless if she moves to Medicaid. Would Child Caretaker Exception work here? Thanks
But then you said that the daughter owns 1/5 of 1/2 of the house, correct? So that may help. No Medicaid leans will be put on the house till Moms passing anyway. I would think that Moms half reverts to the children. At that time you can determine how to handle the house. If sold, the lean has to be paid.
