Do we have any legal recourse on the Will?

The money should have been used to pay for her care. She probably needed to spend down her assets before going on Medicaid. Alternatively, if your mother gifted the asset to your sister in law, they may have committed Medicaid fraud, if the money was not used for her care. If you want to pursue this, you should start with consulting an attorney in the area where your mother resided.

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
If your mom is alive, yes. If she has passed away, you will need to go though some form of probate to sell a house titled in your mother's name.

If my father gifts me the house at its full value tomorrow, how much would he be taxed?

Stephen Joseph Mancini
Answered by attorney Stephen Joseph Mancini (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Strazzeri Mancini LLP
Your father would make the gift of the house to you by gift deed. The value of the gift is its net fair market value. The first $14,000.00 is a freebie (annual exclusion) so that is also deducted. The balance is the amount that must be reported on a gift tax return (form 709). However, unless your father has already used his lifetime exemption (currently $5 million 450k) with prior gifts, no gift tax would be paid. It would merely reduce what is left of his life time exemption at his death. The bigger question is why the gift is being considered. Under current law if your father dies and you inherit the property, you will receive a 'step up' in basis. The recipient of a gift get a 'carry over' of basis. That could be a significant capital gain tax issue.
