I’m working with a guy and his girlfriend.
The girlfriend’s brother passed away last week who inherited a house from the mother who passed away 3 months ago. So both of the previous owners died back to back in the last few months.
When the brother took over the house from the mother when she passed, she owed about $110,000 to Medicaid.
The brother was trying to work with the probate case for the mother and also to get the Medicaid situation resolved but he passed away before it got anywhere.
The house is still in the mother’s name at the moment and now the sister doesn’t seem to know whether or not the probate process has to start over again since the brother died and also doesn’t know what to do about the $110,000 and if she’s going to have to pay it.
I went to the 952 sq ft house and it’ll need at least $55k in repairs. I didn’t even want to put the house under contract since it doesn’t even seem clear that the sister even has the ability or right to sell it.
Any thoughts on how to handle this??
