Well...what about it? I think we need a bit more information! What’s the story? Medicaid? Siblings? Caretaking of it? Selling? Will?

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.

Sorry for your loss.

I guess that depends on a few things.

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.

Don't you mean he pays his bills?

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.

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.

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.
