Medicaid does not "take" your home.  You need to be able to pay for the care that you are receiving.  If you are in a skilled nursing facilty, and are not likely to leave there, then the home is sold and the proceeds are used to pay for your care as the care is being received.  No one "takes" the home.  If your assets run out, and you still need care, then Medicaid will be available to pay for the care.  You should not worry about protecting your assets as much as you  should worry about having enough assets to provide the care you need in the setting that you want.

My mother owns a home which in the will states all assests divided equally between brother and myself 50/50 when she passes on. I live with her

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I'm not sure if you are asking if you have to pay all of the taxes when your mom dies, or now.  When your mom dies the Estate will be responsible for paying taxes on the house until it is transferred into you name and your brother's name.  The Estate will consist of all of your mother's assets, other than the house, and the money that is in the estate will be used to pay all of her last bills, and costs associated with administration, etc.  One thing you should keep in mind, if you live with your mother, and she ever needs to go into a nursing home, the house is an exempt asset and can be transferred directly to you.

Must a POA disclose financial info to family memebers

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Maybe - it depends on what the end result is.  If the person dies, and another person takes over as the Executor of the estate, then the executor may ask for an accounting of what the POA was used for.  It doesn't necessarily need to be disclosed unless someone asks for it.
