Recently was made conservator of family member. Family member is on hospice and Medicaid. Senior has a fixed amount that comes out of her account and get 60 dollars/month for personal money. Grandmother has taxes due on the home that are now due. She has a little over 1,000 in her account after the nursing home takes their chunk for her care. Do I still pay those taxes? I am also the caretaker of the home do I pay the taxes out of my own money as I stay in my grandmother’s home for up keep.
i am also going to sell her home for her care to upgrade her care to a private room. I will have to get 3 estimates on the home/appraisal for the worth of the home. This will deplete everything she has in her bank account. Do I pay the taxes, or get the appraisals? If I pay the taxes, I will not have enough for the 3 home appraisals. If I do the appraisals, I cannot pay the taxes.
Do I pay the taxes out of my own pocket which I am ok with as I live in my grandmother’s home for free?
