Claim solidarity tax credit eligibility special circumstances .Yes or No?

[Reddimixer]

Hello all, My  handicapped mother in law lives in a public Long term care [ CIUSSS] facility in Quebec. She cannot live without assistance, being wheelchair bound and suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer . We are still waiting on the notary for the legal documents to be able to put her house up for sale which might still take a long time, in the meantime she still has to pay property taxes. 

Her living address is one thing {public facility she pays monthly like a rent) , her house another and all documents are sent to our house as we have the mandate to take care of her finances.

Do I claim the  Solidarity tax credit  or not and if so how do I enter it in the program. Thanks in advance

You claim the Solidarity Credit in the individual's tax file.
