What can we do to keep from paying all her money to the nursing home?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Look for cheaper accommodations for your mother or take her back into your home and obtain in home care for her through Dept of California Human and Health Services. By the way, your mother is lucky and so is your family she can afford the care. Accumulated assets are not for the purpose of leaving family members an inheritance but to care for the person who needs the care; if this was otherwise, than the taxpayers suffer the burden of taking care of your mother, which is not right, when assets of the person needing the care are available for that purpose.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Estate Planning lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
With just a simple will and a direct deed the IRS would indeed consider the inherited home his asset and subject to potential collection action. There are ways to protect such a gifting, and therefore would be very wise for your mother-in-law to see an attorney and perhaps avoid probate altogether.

Most likely, one has to file a motion with the court to dismiss the action, and state with evidence the reason why the action should be dismissed.
