Well my mom is in snf rehab and her husband passed last month, they are keeping her past 21 days to progress more, however, I have been low/no contact for months, I'm poa and health care proxy so I handle light phone calls, my sibling well he's a toxic narc, he has my mother paying all his bills because he does house checks on her house etc ., that's fine and dandy, but he and I are done with each other to much infighting and he has an addiction to not work and I believe he is a scammer and he gets it from my mother, long story but she and I can't and never really bonded, anyway a while back I had her and her husband do a life estate, mostly because he has six kids from 3 different marriages and none spoke to him expect for holidays,the house was originally mother's and she added spouse to deed, it was a concern for her I was caregiving and living with them at the time because my mother was very sick and we did not know what direction she was going with hospice, anyway she wanted the life estate and husband agreed, no coherency on my part at all this was over two years ago, well since my brother is a shady guy they did not want to add his name to the deed in case there were judgements or liens against him particularly the IRS as he is behind, so skipping forward my mother is terribly annoyed with me that I will not move back in with her, I have my own life now and I care take her dog and I live one hour away, I have job interviews coming up and need to prepare for my retirement, so also learned her house needs a complete new roof, she has no liquid money and brother wants her to take a hefty loan out he also false promises hell move in and get one of his girlfriends to help with her care, the next day he flies out of town and forgets what he said, I cannot take this bs anymore and to top it off my mother asked me to remove myself from the deed give my share back to her I guess she feels better cutting me off, this is the second time she used this threat or whatever, she only has two more years left for Medicaid look bac (the house paid off ) if I sign over deed this she won't qualify if she needs it on the future, also I really never want to see them again, I can do it all e-sign, I know the house is going to get neglected because they won't dare sell it, so let chips fall and have the courts handle it thru probate when the time comes? I seriously can't do this anymore. Sorry so long thanks for reading

No periods in your post makes it very hard to read, fyi.

Your Mom cannot make you take your name off the deed, so I wouldn't do it. But maybe consider resigning your PoA then reporting your brother for financial abuse if you get any sense that this is happening.

Please continue the no-contact with your Mom. If you're staying involved in hopes of any inheritance, it may not be worth all that drama and stress and there may not be anything left by time she passes.
