I am the legal guardian for my mother. During court my brother agreed to be the caregiver, once we left court he stated he decided he did not want to be the caregiver. He also lives in the property and has convinced my mother to quit claim 25% of the property to him. He has not and does not contribute financially toward any of the utilities, does not assist with property tax and refused to assist with upkeep of the property (roof repairs, main sewer line replace) and now windows are needed. He also does not work and is not look for employment.
Maybe it is time for your Mom to downsize into something more manageable. By selling the property then your brother would need to leave... as one can't sell your brother along with the house.
If the house needs a lot of work, sell it to a person who flips houses, a professional flipper has probably run into this situation before and knows what to do.
