I am only child. She is 97. I am 60. I moved in with her 6 years ago when she was real sick. Her octor then said she had dementia. She gets mean, stubborn, breaks things, going deaf, macular degeneration and blames me for anything she does not like. She says she will not leave me the house. I am on medacare and medacaid. Had 6 back operations, poor vision. Should i find somewhere else ro live in case she dies and the state or somebody gets the house?
Good luck to you. You're doing angel's work.
If you are an only child and Mother dies without a will and no one else's name is on the deed or title, you will inherit (unless she has a legal husband). Neither the house nor car should impact your Medicaid status, since you are allowed to own those items and still be on Medicaid.
I agree with cmagnum that you can't really "count" on getting these things, but I think the chances are good.
If you feel she is close to life-end, have you considered hospice care in the home? That can be a great help to you.
