<prompt> Human: Long story short, my mother in law was the victim of a crime about a decade ago, and inherited a ton of money. She has blown through that money without abandon for years, and ironically, she has been nasty to my wife and I for being the only voices in her life telling her for curb her spending habits.Heres some points about her:She had a house built for her needs shes wheelchair bound in 2011 I believe, which is entirely paid off. She is at this point, behind in her property tax payments to the tune of over 16,000 dollars, and is not even making token payments.She has a wheelchair accessible van that she still owes 40,000 on. She receives about 2,200 a month in a combination of social security benefits and some investment monies, but when the investment money dries up in 2018, she will only have 1,100 a month.She blew through 1.5 million dollars in a decade. She has zero savings, and is now literally living paycheck to paycheck. She had a 400k home built specifically for her needs, and was paid in full, which came out of the 1.5 million.She is living like a hoarder, like someone youd see on a TV show. Her beautiful house built in 2011 is essentially demolished from letting it fall into utter disrepair and that she has 6 dogs and 4 cats in the house, and is wheelchair-bound.This is an absolute disaster. The house was supposed to be given to my wife when my mother-in-law passes away. The straw that broke the camels back was that she has needed 300 for the 3rd week in a row to make minimum payments for various things. She is going to place my wife and I into financial ruin as well.I dont know who I should talk to about this, Im just looking for some direction. This situation is dire, and it was dire years ago. Now its reached the point of breaking. So my questions are: My wife is supposed to inherit the house. If we inherit the house with 16k in unpaid property taxes, are we on the hook for those payments? Even though the house is paid in full, can they take the house from herus? Hell, could they take the house right now, even though its paid in full?What legal steps do my wife and I have to taking over her finances and getting her moved out of that house and into a manageable living situation?Any and all help is genuinely appreciated.Edit: This is in Ohio, if that helps.  <response>: I second the idea that you shouldnt worry about the inheritance of the house because the only way out of this it seems to me is for her to sell the house, and use the money to pay off her debts and then move into a small apartment.
