[QUOTE="busywend, post: 195182, member: 391"] Jo, the best advice you can get is this: contact a lawyer that specializes in estates. This is not about your sister and what she is doing right now. It is about what will happen in 6 months or a year or 5 years when your mom needs to live in a nursing home. Did you know that if you are already in a home for more than 1 year - even if it costs you $10k per year, the state will pick it up after the money is gone? Could be different in PA. It is my understanding that it is imperative that one gets into a nice place while there is still money to pay. The state does not move you once you are out of money. If you mom stays with sister until she is out of money - where would your mom end up? The least expensive place. The whole process has many loop holes and it is imperative that a lawyer is sought early. HUGS! I know it is so stressful to have these worries. I would plan a trip to PA for all siblings and meet with a lawyer all together during the trip. You all hear the same thing from his/her mouth. No doubts then. [/QUOTE]
