Possible forclosure on property in Florida. Money is also owed to Condo Assoc. Can the condo assoc come after my home in NJ?

A life estate will not protect the house.  A Trust could possibly protect the house, and maybe you were thinking of a living trust.  The condo association will place a lien against the condo.  When the foreclosure is complete, the mortgage company will have first priority and the condo association will only get paid after the mortgage company.

My two brothers and I made a verbal agreement we will take care of our elderly mother, who is diagnosed with Dementia five years ago..

I dont know if your mother has any assets ( home, pension plan, etc) but if she does, then maybe you and your siblings agree in writing that you will get a larger share of the remaining assets of her estate upon her passing to compensate you for the expenses incurred in caring for your mother. Since your mother has dementia, who has the power of attorney over her care and over her finances? Again, maybe you and your siblings can agree that you will be paid from her assets for the time spent and to be spent caring for her.
