Fifteen years ago, my sister and I did a fee simple deed on her condominium in Ky. This means we became joint owners of the condo. and that when one of us dies the condo goes to the survivor.
My question is this: if one of us enters a nursing home sponsored by Medicade, can the nursing home or Medicade lay claim to the condo. for recovery?

Hi stanleylong,
If the person's name is mentioned on the condo deed, then the Medicaid authority can come after the property for recovery after the person goes to the nursing home.
