Do I have the right as a beneficiary/co-owner to attend the closing of the sale of real property that is the main asset of my mother's estate?

You should consult with an attorney knowledgeable about estate matters. You may not be allowed to sit in on the closing as an observer but even if you were you would not learn very much!

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

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Unfortunately you are probably too late do to anything..Medicade has a 5 year (60 month) lookback so if you try shielding her assets now they will come after you for the assets back.. There may be other sources of $$ to recoup some of it.. such as if she was a veteran (there is a program that may get you a small amount) HOWEVER If you suspect that she will be in the home for more than 5 years... contact an appropriate estate planning attorney immediately! While she may have to pay the first 5 years, you might be able to shield any assets over $300K (5 yrs x 12 x $5200= $312K).

If my Poppa who has recently died, put his half of a property him and his sister own in his will,does that mean his sister will have to sell the house

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
The people to whom your father left his half of the property may continue to own it with his sister or they or his sister may bring a suit for partition.  Then either they will buy out the sister, the sister will buy them out or the house will be sold and the net proceeds split according to their ownership interests.
