Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My mom‘s house was put in for 15 years ago for my brother and me. Now she has to go to assisted-living. We plan on selling the house to pay for monthly care. The house is paid off. What’s the best way, tax wise, to do this?
"My mom‘s house was put in for 15 years ago for my brother and me."
I think we are missing "our names". Are only you two on the deed or Mom too?
I think that you need a lawyer to make sure this is all done on the up and up. If Mom is still on the deed and needs Medicaid in the future, the house may need to be dold at Market Value.
I missed if the house is in moms name still or has it been in your name for 15 yrs? If it's still in moms name , if you have poa you can sell the house ( I had an elderlaw attorney) I was able to sell the house and use money to pay for moms care. Once that money is gone medicaid will hopefully be an option. Because it was her primary residence( for over 5 year years there wasn't really any issues as far as capital gains etc.. if the house is in your name for those 15 years I would think you can still sell it and use the money any way you wish. If mom doesn't have any " assets" she might qualify for medicaid which should cover moms care unless you already signed papers to be private pay... I assume rules are different state to state. They sure don't make it easy that's for sure. Wishing you the best of luck
See a real estate attorney. You should use one when you sell the house for the closing. You can ask your questions since there are state and federal rules if taxes need to be paid.
I recommend that you consider investing rather than CDs or just a checkbook to help her $$$ last
Definitely see a CPA or as Alva suggested real estate atty (who may have a CPA on staff) with this question. So much depends on the actual ownership. And a CPA needs to review that for you to get an accurate answer. Good luck.
Definitely see an attorney with this question. I would contact a real estate attorney with all documents and when they were done. This is something that may vary state to state and it is definitely something that you cannot afford to get wrong. See an attorney.
Just a by the by, would love it if you came back and told us what, for your own state, you found out. No one really ever does update us about those things, and if they did we would have a whole lot more knowledge to share. Good luck!
We aren't accountants. Go to bogleheads.org which is a public financial forum. I personally would not risk getting advice on a global anonymous public forum of non-professionals where there is no accountability if we give you bad or incorrect advice.
