My husband was deeded the family home by his grandmother when he was eighteen when she went into a nursing home. At the time, his mother was on disability and his sister was eight years younger and so they all moved into the home. In an attempt to protect his mom in case something happened, my husband made her a joint tenant on the deed. There is no outstanding mortgage or equity line on the house. Since then, my husband graduated from college, married me, and moved away from the city the house is in. His mother lives there by herself and has an income from social security disability and long term diability payments. She is morbidly obese and although she has had surgery, but she has actually gained back weight and so it looks like she will be on disability permanantly. My husband does not know what she does with her money, but she is not maintaining the home and has never put any money into it (my husband paid for a new furnance several years ago). It is dirty and cosmetically looks awful, but not it looks like the floor might be giving out and there might be termites. We are not sure what the options are, but we know we cannot afford to be liable if the house if condemned. While we think she could afford to rent somewhere, we are not sure. She is willing to sign the house back over to my husband, but he doesn’t want to be a landlord. And if he signs it over to her, he is afraid that eventually when something does happen to condemn the house that he will be responsible for figuring out how to help her then. Are there any options anyone can suggest? We are just kind of stuck.
