No, the house will not go to the government just because she receives Social Security.

Your mother should plan this out, with the assistance of an attorney. She may want to change the Deed to the house. She definitely needs a Last Will And Testament.

Please give me a call to talk it over. The telephone discussion will be free of charge, and I will let you know what I believe I can do to assist you further.
