keeping her dream alive

In Texas, my brother, who is my mother's POA placed my mother in a nursing home. She has left a will and my neighbor suggested that he go back to the same attorney and have the will changed to a Trust and include the Lady Bird Johnson clause. Besides the fact that her home isn't in a very good neighborhood, it needs some repairs including a broken foundation. My fear is that if he boards the house up, squatters, riff-raff will destroy the interior and the taxes will become delinquent, eventually showing up on her heirs credit reports. What is the best way to handle the situation?
