Old sailor - totally and add on time & $$ & hearings if property is in any sort of historic or landmark designated district. As you cannot just run off to Lowe’s to get a new window as there are historic specs for the mullions and muntins and you do it wrong & they’ll need to get pulled.... as I and other neighbors will report it. I’ve dealt with slate roof repairs and replacement required as property in HDL, forever to get insurance to agree to pay for slate and almost another year to get it delivered and installed. 2 blue tarps of time.

Igloo, you are so correct. Even down to color of the paint and what plants can be planted. Don't forget, like I did, about HOAs and their power to rule. I was just trying to keep it simple. So many jurisdictions require a licensed contractor and building permits for the simplest repair. To date, the only thing that I am aware of that hasn't been touched is changing a light bulb.

Try again to see a lawyer. There are exemptions to Medicaid's right to recover their expenses from the estate.

This article states:

..." there will be no recovery made against the exempt home of a Medicaid recipient (i.e. it will not have to be sold to pay back the state)" ...if

"A son or daughter (of any age) of the Medicaid recipient lived in the house for at least two years immediately prior to the date the recipient was admitted to the nursing home, has continuously lived in the house since then, and provided care to the Medicaid recipient prior to their placement, which permitted them to delay entering the nursing home."

You sound as though you are grieving and tired. If you don't have the energy to follow up on this, maybe your sisters do? Can you contact Legal Aid? The home sounds like it is eligible for this exemption and you sound like you could use the money for your future.
