Helen Jones, a disabled individual, lives in a house owned by her mother. Helen buys
her own food but pays no rent and is charged with rent-free shelter at the presumed
maximum value (PMV). In March, her mother dies and the house is part of the mother's
estate pending probate. The will is uncontested and Helen Jones is the sole heir.
Regional instructions confirm that, under state law, the property conveys to Ms. Jones
at the time of her mother's death and that there is no legal prohibition against immediate
sale.
