In 1995 my mother quit claimed her house to my sister but maintained a life estate. Mom subsequently went into a nursing home and received medicaid. Mom Died in 2012. My sister who then had deed on the house put a T.O.D to me on the deed and she died six months later. Can medicaid recover now on mom's original deed?
Hi Cathie,
Well, this is a complex situation. As the property was in your sister's name, I don't think the Medicaid will be able to claim it. Nevertheless, it will be better if you could contact an attorney well versed with the Medicaid laws of your state and clarify the matter.
Thanks
