My brother will inherit everything except a old piano and her silverware. I am paying all the bills that came in after she died. Also have to continue to pay utilities, home insurance, etc. Brother still lives in house. I am the executor of the will. Barbara
Brother has Life Deed for home. He is on SSI and gets food stamps. Mom was scared he would be homeless. Said the house isn't worth enough to pay for condo or rent for brother. He is only 53. Plus he wanted to continue to live jn house so mom made sure he could. He was thrown out if subsided apartment. Didnt pass inspection. Waiting list to get back in subsiduzed apartment is years long. Mom wrote a special needs trust. I run it.
if someone cant pick up the utilities on a free house and property they can sit in the dark for all i care .
Just because your brother inherits the house, it doesn't mean he gets the house free for life. Does he want to continue to live in the house? If so, have him refinance the house and pull out equity to use to pay the bills. As for next month's utilities, house insurance, property taxes, those bills now belong to your brother.
