Saved!

I am starting a new company that targets schools and their fundraising efforts. I need a creative name that I can make a brand and also some ideas about how to market it.

My mother is retiring and has very little saved for retirement. She is expecting to live on Social Security which will barely cover here monthly expenses. Her home is paid for and I am considering purchasing it for full appraised price to allow her to have some cash. She would be able to live there rent free and just help with the upkeep. What kind of problems can I run into in this deal? What could I do to provide her some legal protection, and to make her feel comfortable with this?

Another wrinkle is that I have 2 brothers and she is concerned that this would hurt their feelings. Neither of them could afford to help her if something happened. That would be up to me.

I am trying to think this through completely before going forward because I don't want any additional trouble with my siblings because they already resent me because I make a decent living don't have any debt.

Any advice is appreciated.

My niece's (19) husband (19) works for his stepdad as 1099 and was paid cash all last year. He never paid any taxes and he made roughly 20K. They have a new baby (reason for marriage). I am concerned that they haven't paid anything. They said that they spoke to a tax preparer and he said that this isn't a problem. Is this true? I thought that you had to estimate and pay taxes quarterly. These are know-it-all teenagers and I'm afraid that they are going to learn another hard lesson.
