If she's in a nursing home, what does she need the house for, whatever its price?
The kids want the house, but the state to pay for her care. They couldn't be bothered to care for her. Before Social Security, caring families took in their parents in their later years. They did the caring. They got the estate which they deserved. Now with socialism, the elderly are a burden. Socialism amounts to breaking the bonds of love.
Excellent observation.
That was my interpretation, too. Not a very charitable judgment of the motives, of course ...
