[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry you are in this situation, you seem a caring person. however, as others have pointed out, your sister seems significantly mentally ill. she probably was mentally ill when she was younger too, but now with older age she does not seem competent and able to care for herself. the person who lives with her sounds mentally ill and abusive. It looks more like your sister cannot defend herself. if they are hoarding and not taking care of the house, you may not be able to sell for much at all if you wait longer because the house will be so damaged that you will sell for the cost of the land at most.

it is hard to help people who are not legally incompetent. your best bet is finding a local social worker or an elder care attorney who can see what is available for your sister. she probably should go to a retirement home where she can be assisted. the other lady needs help too because she is mentally instable. maybe it is possible to have your sister evaluated and declared incompetent if she is, so a guardian can help her find a place to stay.
