[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also really worry that she won't continue to apply for food stamps/disability if MIL isn't there to force her. I suppose I could be made a representative payee for disability but not sure the options for food stamps. [/quote]

I'm the pp that someone just responded to saying I am well intentioned but don't know what I'm talking about. anyway I think I did assume that you would of course be seeking legal advice before any purchasing as it sounds like you have the means to do so and I should have said that there is of course lots of considerations - property under SIL name could put certain benefits at risk and property under your name I'm sure has it's own risks. I haven't dealt with the purchasing of a home for a mentally ill family member, but I have more experience in this area than the pp assumes. So to answer your food stamp question - SNAP does have rep payee options. I think your concerns are valid though. Despite what people think, the reporting requirements and checking in to keep your benefits can be quite arduous. It may actually be a tad easier now because of COVID in a weird way - prior to covid so much had to be done in person at a SNAP office (or at least was much easier). I'm not working close enough to that area now to know but I wonder if some of the shifts to more online due to covid may make it easier to help from afar but I don't know if that is true.
