Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

Elder Care

My mom and I own a house together. She is in the early stages of alzeheimers disease. I may at some point have to put her in a nursing home. She only collects $780.00 a month from social security. With the price of nursing home care what are my options? Will I have to sell the house to pay for it and does the house have to be in my name only?

Re: Elder Care

depends on how you came into ownership.

If mom put you on title its different than if you bought it together.

also depends on how long you have lived with mom.

i can give you a better answer if you give me more information.
