Since your father is in California you will need to hire an attorney who is licensed to practice in that state. I recommend you post your question under California instead of Oregon.

I'm sorry for your difficult situation. A landlord-tenant attorney could advise best here, but your post remains open for three weeks.

Everyone who receives Medicaid will have their finances renewed annually. With the exception of spouses, each individual is reviewed individually, so your finances would not be considered in a review of your brother’s.
