Q: My mom is 92 and I have issues with my sister that doesn't want to sell her apt to pay my mom's bills.
My mom need a person to take care of her 24/7 she owes an apt that is worth about 90K. I offered my sister to sell the apt and take that money and take care of my mom as I have no money to help pay the 1600 a month which I'be been doing for long time, but I don't have the money. My sister doesn't want to sell the apt and keeps bothering me for money every week. I sent her a document that I will renounce to anything when my mom dies, but my sister told me that I am bothering her with these letter and will send me to jail if I continue. I don't know what to do. Can you help me. I need for someone to get us all together to see if we can get into some type of agreement to finalize this nightmare.
A:
If your mother owns the home herself, she is free to kick your sister out and sell it. If she has designated you as her power of attorney, you can do all this as well.
If the three of you need someone to sit down with the three of you and discuss whats best for mom, I am happy to help.
Finally, you may want to look into Medicaid planning for your mother for assistance with her long-term care needs.
Best of luck to you.
