If she was on Medicaid you should get a form to fill out about what is in her estate. Its now the house. A question will be asked if a family member lives in the house and is the house considered their residency. It also had to be Moms before she went into a nursing home. Him being her caregiver is a plus too. If this is OKd, a lean will still be put on the house but not recouped unless ur brother sells or dies.
Was your mother the sole owner of the house? Are there any liens, mortgages, etc on it?
Did she have a will? Is the house left to your brother? Or everything in her estate to be split equally between her heirs?
If the house needs to be sold, I guess there would be no harm in your brother living there while he gets the house ready to sell and even while it is for sale IF he can keep the house in good enough condition for showings.
Yes she went in nursing home after being told she had dementia and could no longer take care of her she used up all her $ in her account and was then put on medicare she passed away and my brother still lives in her home it’s not worth much but you know where to go !!! He pays her utility bills and insurance on the house
Lots of things depend on answers to different questions. Againx100 touched on many of them Do you/does he have a lawyer? Or did your mom? That might be the place to start. As of right now he can live there but bill need to be paid as well and he should be paying those now. But he should be prepared to have to move out if that becomes necessary.
Yeah my mother was on Medicaid and then my brother paid $200 every month being able to be in there there are five siblings currently living outside of my brother my brother is currently living there and caring for her pets and And the House how long does he have to live there We are not sure where he would go as he lived on social Security Check
No one can tell you how long he will be able to stay. Call your County Medicaid office and ask for a phone # of someone you can talk to to get a form. Like I said, if Moms home was brothers main residence he may not be made to move. He will be allowed to live there until he dies or moves. He may have to show he can afford to live there.
I guess that depends on a few things.

I would check with the utility companies, I think he may be violating some laws by having utilities in her name after she has died.
