VerifiedHello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.
Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can. Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me.
I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.
Is your mother mentally competent?
If your mother is competent in the decision has to be hers. You can't actually use a POA if it's for when she's incompetent before she has reached a state of incompetency. If she doesn't want the house and doesn't need the house it doesn't make sense to keep the house.
Essentially if you are making decisions in her place then you have to do what is best for your mother and not for the estate.
If she doesn't need the money then the decision should be based on what is most financially sound.
Does that help?
