I am Remainderman on my mother's house, which is now vacant, as she is in assisted living. I want to lease her house to bring in extra income to help pay her self-pay assisted living rent. She gets social security and VA Aid & Attendance. We have been advised that we cannot lease her house and have that money go into her bank account, as it will affect her VA benefit. Is there any way around this? Her savings will not last long if we can't get every little bit of help possible and rental income would go a long way. We can't put her house in my name, because it would be considered income for her and again, would end her VA benefit. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
