Would it be best to contact an attorney and get power of attorney over your moms monetary situation? If so, then you will be able to use her money for her care and living expenses. You will just have to keep receipts and good records of everything. In that way, you can talk to mom and tell her that you would have legal ability to pay her bills....maybe it would be a good time too for her to assign an executrix of her estate.
