my grandmother has passed and my mother is the oldest child that was the caregiver to my grandmother. the state wants to take the house away due to medicaid expenses. we were told we can file a quit claim deed to change the deed to my mother. how do we file if the guarantor is deceased? my mother has her death certificate but my grandmother left no will.
Hi sonia,
As your grandmother is deceased now, a quitclaim deed cannot be filed. Quitclaim deed should have been filed and the property should have been transferred to your mother when your grandmother was alive. Nevertheless, you can speak to an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
Thanks

Hi sonia,
I agree with what James Hogg has said. It will be difficult for you to get the property transferred in your name now. You won't be able to do a quitclaim deed transfer now and the property may go to Medicaid.
