A Nursing home facility.Home is paid off and I was appointed Executor, house taxes are being paid by me daughter,and name left under mothers name. when she passes do I get the house, I am living in it since shes been gone. I am 56 and disabled, do i need to transfer name to me? Mother does not have a will, she has a mental disorder, and I also have a power of attorney for my mom. Thankyou.
A: therr are not enough details of your case for a full analysis. For example, what does the power of attorney cover. Is your mother mentally competent now. Who are the owners of the house. Who are the heirs of your mother. What other assets does your mother have. Is she getting any medicaid benefits. Depending on what the answers are to those questions, you may or may not have right to the house. There are also various ways to try and have the house pass down to you. You will need to discuss your case with an attorney.
