I live with my brother and our family home is in his name alone. Can it be taken from me due to outstanding bills? I have moved here for the past 6 years along with my brother who owns the home and has my name in his will to receive it upon his death.

If you mean your brother's bills, then yes, he could be sued and a judgment placed against the house which would ultimately force sale of the house. If you are talking about an insurance or Medicare/Medicaid lien, you need to sit down and talk to an attorney in your community who deals with elder law issues to discuss ways to avoid this from happening.
