My father in law just inherited his mom's house. He is ill and more than likely headed to a nursing home with the help of Medicaid. I want to know if my father in law quitclaims the property to my husband does that keep Medicaid from getting it. My husband would then sell it the house it is paid off (no mortgage) and put the money aside for his mom and her living expenses since she has been unemployed for a year. The house is valued around $50,000. Would this be considered a gift? I was told by Medicaid that they will check the last 5 years of my father in laws finances so I am not sure if this is the best option is if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Can we quitclaim the house directly from the deceased grandmother to my husband and bypass my father in law? Thank you!
Welcome Jen,
If your father-in-law quitclaims the property now, he will become ineligible for Medicaid benefits for the next 5 years as Medicaid has a look back period of 5 years in case of any property transfer.
The deceased grandmother cannot quitclaim the property to your husband. Your husband can rather file an affidavit of heirship and get the property transferred in his name.

Thanks that is what I thought but I wasn't sure.
My father in law has been named the heir in the will and from what I know has ownership of the deceased grandmother's property. Can my husband still file this affidavit of heirship? I don't know anything about these.
Thanks!

Hi Jen,
It will be better if you and your husband could contact an attorney and take his or her opinion in this matter.

My Boyfriends grandmother quitclaim a deed to a cottage (not primary home) for $1.00 12 years ago. He just sold it in 2011. Is this considered a gift since it was under FMV or does he have to pay taxes on the full amount he sold it for?
Hi Leanette,
As a value is mentioned on the property deed, I don't think it will be considered as a gift. Moreover, the person giving the gift is liable for paying the gift taxes. So, your boyfriend won't be liable for paying a gift tax in any way.
