If I pay the taxes on the house, would I get the money back when the estate is split among the heirs?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
You should have a written agreement with the other heirs about you advancing the funds to pay the taxes and their agreement to reimburse you from estate funds. However, I don't know enough about the estate to know if there are other issues of concern.

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

Joseph A Marra
Answered by attorney Joseph A Marra
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Offices of Joseph A. Marra, PLLC
With proper planning at least one third of your mother's assets can be preserved, possibly more. An attorney experienced in the area of Elder Law such as me will be able to assist you. Unfortunately it will be much more difficult if not impossible to protect her income unless she has a spouse living in the community.

How could I deny property inheritance?

Answered by attorney Bruce Darrell Steiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kleinberg, Kaplan, Wolff Cohen, P.C.
You can disclaim (refuse to accept) the condo. You may do so within 9 months from your mother's death, if you haven't accepted it or any of the benefits of it. A lawyer can prepare the necessary papers and file them with the court. If you disclaim it, you can't say who gets it. It will pass as if you had died before your mother's death.
