You guys are scaring me. My Mom lives in FL and the house is worth about $150,000 is in her name only. When I asked the lawyer about that in 2004 when Dad died, he said it wasn't a problem. When Mom dies, it would cost $75 to go through probate.

Are you telling me this is not true? She is 96. I can't file a quick claim if she dies in her sleep. Are you saying this property should be put in a trust for my sister and I. I can't afford to lose any money on this as come June I will have to support her to the tune of $40,000 or more a year. Was I given the wrong advice?

Thanks,
Eileen
