What are next steps or if I will be able to keep the house if both of my parents are deceased and the house is mortgage free?

If your parents owned the house jointly and your father passed 5 years ago. If his interest was payable on death to you then you would have received his interest at that time. Your mother's interest would have to to go towards paying the medical bills first. The law requires that a deceased bills must be paid in full before any gifts can be given to their heirs. If the house was jointly owned by your parents and your father's interest wasn't payable to death to you it would go to your mother. Then the house would be sold, any proceeds would pay off your mother's medical bills and, if there was any left over, it would go to you.

If the house is titled in your name, only a mortgage holder can force you to move, and then only if you are behind in payments, and they are foreclosinig. No one else has a legal right to force you to do anything. If everything is held pursuant to a conservatorship, then everything changes. If there is a conservatorship involved, please contact me.
