My mother who is 75 owns a home in Texas and has been in a nursing home for over 14 yrs in very poor health (stroke victim and on oxygen 24/7)she is on Medicaid, and has no money. For many yrs my brother and I paid the taxes due on this home for her but for the past few yrs we stopped due to the expense. Our names are not on the deed nor do we have Power of Attorney for her. The Social Security office told us in the past that the house can't be sold or rented since my mother can't have any income or she would lose her benfits for care in the nursing home. My brother has received many letters from the city in wish she lives on these past due taxes and he has been as honest with them about her situation as humanly possible. They don't seem to have any sympathy about this matter. My brother was told they will put a warrant out for her arrest and he told them where they can find her. My brother has just received a letter to appear August 14th before the judge in this town about this matter and if he doesn't the letter states a warrant for his arrest will be forth coming and he can't afford an attorney. Can we as siblings be sued for this and are we responsible for these taxes?
