My mother had a stroke two years ago. My wife, daughter, and I were living there for about two weeks before her stroke because we moved out of the house we were living in abruptly and needed somewhere to stay temporarily. A few weeks after my mom’s stroke, my older sister (45 yrs) wanted to move in the house. She had been wanting to live there for a while but my mom wouldn’t let her come live with her for various reasons. She had lived with her before but moved out so she could have privacy with her husband. So now, I’m not able to buy a house and I want to live at my mom’s house so I can save to buy my own house. I would actually like to live there and make the house a home for my wife and daughter. I wouldn’t have moved out if my sister wouldn’t have brought her dog and cat over to my mom’s house. My daughter has sever allergies to cats and dogs. She actually developed asthma symptoms while we were living there with my sister for the six month time period. My sister also didn’t get along with my wife and they would argue and maintain a constant level of tension keeping me in the middle. My sister has a drinking problem and has friends over that are ex cons or crack heads or former crack heads and I didn’t want them around my family. So we moved out and my sister got rid of most of my mom’s furniture and other belongings, and put a lot of her personal pictures etc in the attic for storage. She basically moved her stuff in and made the house her own. She pays on the loan and taxes, which is only about 30k on a 300k property that my family had purchased back in the 60s. Once that loan is paid off, the house will be own free and clear except for the debt for my mother’s care. My mom is currently living in a nursing home using Medicare and Medicaid. Texas has a program where they can reclaim the cost of Medicaid expenses when my mother dies. There are some exceptions such as an unmarried child living at the home. My sister is legally married, but separated from her husband. Her husband left her for another woman that he got pregnant. She is staying on his insurance because she has had two episodes of lymphoma and needed chemotherapy treatments. So I’m in a situation where my sister doesn’t want me to live with her because of my wife and I don’t want to live with her because of her life style and we both want to live at my mom’s house because it is low cost living in a nice place. What can I do?

Sell the house, split the proceeds (after paying for Mom’s care).
