How can we help our mom financialy without affecting her credit card and medicaid?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Helping your mom out with expenses should not be income to her. If there is debt and Medicaid is a possibility, it is worth seeing an elder law attorney to do some planning.

What are my options if our house mortgage is on my ex-husband name and he recently passed away?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
It sounds like you got some misinformation. You can sell the house even if you're not on the mortgage (but you will have to pay off the mortgage loan from the sale proceeds). Making a mortgage payment will not make you liable for the balance of the mortgage loan. The first thing you should do is find out whether your ex-husband's interest in the house passed to you or to someone else. Does the deed say you were joint tenants with rights of survivorship? You may be able find a local probate attorney who will wait to take their fee when the house is sold.?

How could someone legally get what they are entitled to in an estate?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
First, go to the court and get a copy of the Final Account of the estate, which should show what he was entitled to. Then, I guess hire a private investigator to find the ex-wife. Now that I think of it, ex-wife couldn't have been the personal representative of the estate. Her right to serve would have been extinguished by the divorce. So much is fishy in this matter. Hire the investigator, find the wife, then talk to a lawyer about what can be done.
