You are welcome to any information I am able to give you keeping in mind it may or may not apply to your state. I have spent 2k to date on eldercare advice. It is sad to have to say I am not half way yet. But considering mom's best interests & the amount of money on the line. I feel it is money well spent. You will need to do the same if you are the sibling she chooses to handle her affairs. It is you obligation to do the best you can. You cannot let her life's efforts hinge on the words of strangers. I could spend an additional $3500.00 to have the last attorney I met with handle all of this for me. Given that I have to have her home squared away for the new owner before the end of the month, look for the perfect nursing home I have been unable to find, run my company, appease my siblings & my wife, find a new house & all the rest of the shiznit. This is what I will do if I run out of time before I can acquire enough information to determine which attorney knows the most.
From my experience I can honestly say stall the selling of the home until you have your coarse of action set. Once it is sold your time will be limited.
Your mom is only entitled to own one home & still qualify for Medicaid.
