My husbands brother is very hard to get along with. The house he lives in is trashed. My husband and I are 70 and 69 and want to help his brother. We own his house which use to be his parents. He had a gambling problem when we bought it back from the bank for him. We took a mortgage out on our house to buy his house and he's been paying us back, with regularity every month, to pay his utilities, taxes and our house payments . Now he's in bad health and not keeping himself or the house in a liveable condition. We need to sell the house and put him in an assisted living home, how can we do this without his cooperation?
It will be hard to do this now because Gov offices are closed.
Put the house on the market, let him know. If he has no money, I guess he will have to go on gov't pay for a nursing home?
Sorry you have to deal with this.
