My brother and I own our mother's home jointly. We got this through inheritance when she died. He is now terminally ill, and I think he has willed his half to his adopted daughter. We have not seen this will he talks about. Medicaid is also going to be an issue. My daughter has shown interest in wanting to move into the house after my brother passes to keep the house in the family. My brother went into a nursing home today. Will we have to put the purchase of his half in motion if he ends up staying in the nursing home long term? I guess I should ask can we put the purchase in motion? If my daughter buys his half now, his daughter will have nothing to inherit. Does the will have anything to say about him being able to sell before he dies? I know this sounds complicated, but we want to make sure that the house stays in the family. Is there anyway that I can be forced to sell my half in order to sell his half if it has to be sold because of his being in a nursing home? We are going to get an appointment with his attorney to ask these questions. Will there be a problem with him talking to us about property that is also owned by us and his client?
