Ok small break down my parents own a house in NY the deed is in my dads name and his brother who lives in the VI . The mortgage is in my dads brothers name my dad pays the mortgage claims it in his taxes because it's a 2 family home and collects rent and list it as income he is self employed . My mom doesnt work but she is thinking she should take some classes. She wants to work she was an accountant 20 years again but she took care of us kids . My sister is 19 they are waiting for her to adjust their status to really do anything . They are tired . Question 1. Can they sell the house and buy another house in a southern state that's cheaper for cash can their property be seized ? That's their fear !
2. Do they have to wait to be legal they really want to move out of NY they also have property out of the country they can sell and just buy another house which would be the best option and would any of these help with being public charge and can any of these houses be seized and taken away from them ?
