don't sell anything she owns until you have the advisement of someone who knows the ins and outs of what estate rules are for qualifying under medicare or other State assistance for her care - I'm no expert but do know there are things you can do to preserve any "Estate" legally so it doesn't all have to be liquidated to pay for care in lieu of using State/Government assistance

      - this may not be possible, but if there's a nursing college or something similar - maybe internships for her care are an option? also - when I needed - JenBro Mar 27, 13:05
