Mom passed away Apr 9th 2022. No will, she had signed her pink to her car over to me to prevent anything happening to it. I left it in her name. She had dementia. I had eventually gotten a POA and AHCDPOA after a year and a half of trying to get her back home after my younger half brother had kept her against her will by disabling her car one day so he could continue his abuse in a private and EXTREME way. I was unaware he had been taking money from her for the last 10 years then in 2017 - 2019 caused I'd say about $40k in debt in 2 years time. He had committed a number of crimes stealing her benefits using fraud and ID theft, wireless transfers, account take over and the bank assisted him. I have hard evidence. Mom borrowed from me approx. $5,000. and never paid me back during this whole ordeal. I became her representative payee and couldn't pay myself back. She didn't have any money to work with really. I paid her bills ect. as she declined. When she passed I HAD to use what little money I had to pay for her cremation. I couldn't afford this I am flat broke now!
The house has a rev mort of $403,000.00. It was upside down a good number of years. There were 2 done by 2004 or 05. The house now is probably worth about $525,000 to $600,000. I had paid the property taxes and homesteaded the property just before she died. I told her to homestead it over 20 years ago then found out she didn't.
The judgments/debts I was able to get 2 dismissed w/o prejudice claiming elder abuse. I was working on a 3 rd when mom passed.
Mom has NOTHING of value. 1/2 bro wiped her out clean! He had her pawn her jewelry and lost it to pawn, cash her life ins policy I asked her to buy for funeral expenses it was only a $3k policy.
The 1/2 bro is on disability and sec 8. He is mental. And defrauded both because of the extra income he had from embezzling. My mother was his representative payee and he should not have had access to anyone's money in the bank!
Her bank acct has money that belongs to SS. She hasn't any other assets but her clothes, bed, dinning room set, and some other pieces of furniture.
I have a another brother who is adamantly estranged. He absolutely will not have anything to do with this mess and will not talk to me. He thinks that if he just turns his back that's enough. He doesn't realize the courts have to know this!
That's my situation here's the problem - One of my neighbors said he would help with the rev mort that has been now due and payable since Apr 9th. I asked for an extension after they had just automatically gave one to me that was up on the 16th. I am in the house and have been since day one. I take care of it for my mom.
I want to try and keep the house. And get these two either both signed off or 1 signed off and the other barred from being an heir. There's some thing else... I have a law suit started in my mothers name against the hosp who murdered her. It's still in the discovery phase because the hosp will not turn over the med rec. They did the same to me after my being approved to receive them while she was alive since I was her POA of health care. I dont know how long this is going to drag out. And does this have to be mentioned to the court? Is this a SMALL ESTATE intestate? Is there another way for me to claim heir-ship with non responding siblings? I think I read somewhere about filing an affidavit and claiming it that way if these two do not respond. I filed an extensive complaint against 1/2 with the DA recently. They said they are investigating.
