I just got word from Good Sister that she has wired the (staggering amount of) money to pay off Mom's reverse mortgage. We're waiting for the reverse mortgage holder to send us back the release of lien to make it official. But GS has already made the arrangements and the actual transaction is in progress.
The whole point of buying that house back was so that we could sell it to pay for Mom's continued care. I know there's been a short-term cash crunch. Good Sister has been wrangling the long-term care insurance company to get them to pay for more care hours per week. But what I don't know is how imminent the sale of Mom's house is. The very, very good news is that it's going to be possible.
From the Dept. of Darkness, if Mom dies before the value of that house is tapped out, my sisters and I will inherit the remainder. At the rate things have gone, though, I can hardly count on that. Mom is losing mobility and she's pre-diabetic, but I've seen old people in much worse shape hang on for years.
Mom doesn't know it, wouldn't remember it if she did, and certainly wouldn't appreciate it, but the United Sister Front and most especially Good Sister have ensured that she can spend the remainder of her life in as much comfort as possible. That's a big deal.
