Take her property?

You say that you already OWN this and have for five years.
If you have owned this property then your mother has no property now and has not had any for five years. If your State will let her go on Medicaid now, she will complete the forms. Where it asks if she own any property the answer is NO, she does not own property.

I think that you should check this out with an elder law attorney or the mediCAID offices in your own state, given you have a question with legal and financial ramifications.

Now, if in saying "I have yea many brothers and a mother and we EACH" you mean that mother owns 20% of this property, yes, that 20% will be subject to Medicaid clawback after she dies. That would make it CRUCIAL, and not just advisable for you now to see an attorney before application for Medicaid. There may be, after death, a way for the brothers to buy out that 20%, and that would go to Medicaid. But this is something you can't get wrong, so time for expert advice.

Precisely how does the title read?
Is the property undivided interest? Or Joint Tenancy?
Was paperwork done by an attorney? Or did someone in the family pull a form off the web to do this and the form was a Quit Claim Deed?

If you are not understanding any of this, you need to get with a Real Estate atty to review exactly what was precisely done and what it means legally for everyone’s ownership. That info you take to an elder law atty experienced with LTC Medicaid applications.

It is best to consult an attorney for this, especially one that specializes in elder and estate law.
