Q: My 100 year old Mom is living at home with a 24 hour caregiver.Her home is in a life estate with myself and 2 sisters
I am paying for the bulk of her care and home expenses as I am Guardian.I keep excellent records.How will I be payed back upon the sale of the house?One sister objects to everything!!
A: You won't. We never recommend that people pay their parent's medical bills, because there is no guarantee that you will be reimbursed. If your mom cannot afford the care, I would look into getting her on Medicaid.
