My parents signed the deed of their house over to us 4 children in July 2003. My Dad went into the Long Island State Veteran' home 5/29/07 and his Medicaid was approved June 2008. My Mom died 5/1/08. Can Medicaid get claim to any part of the house that was also left to the 4 kids in their will? Besides that the deed was transferred in July 2007? My Dad also has 2 pensions of his own, now 1/2 of my Mom's State of New York Pension and his Medicare that the Veteran's home gets from him. And what is a "right of election" that needs to be filed in surrogate court by our attorney? Thanks so much.
epw, i think you'd be wise to invest in an attorney to go over the above scenario.
