You can ask, but without a contract, you don’t have any evidence of a debt.
Even with evidence of a debt, you can’t collect if there are no probate assets. Medicaid liens must be satisfied first. If never on Medicaid, assets could have been given away or titled jointly, or passed through beneficiary designation.
If you need to be reimbursed or compensated, do it as you go, with a care contract; keep good records and pay your income and payroll taxes.
No. You will receive no pay after your mother has died. If your mother was provided aid through medicaid by the federal and state government then any future sale of her home will go to pay back what was invested in her care; the remainder will be distributed by the executor of the will according to the dictates of the will.
