My brother was in a serious accident last year and had no insurance. He has tried to set up payments for the medical bills, but the providers do not want to accept what he can afford to pay. He is self-employed. His owes nothing on his home or car. His wife died a year ago and he has three children. He asked me if he could do a quick deed to me for his house to get the house out of his name with legal documents that would give the house to his kids if something happened to me or him. He is afraid that there will be a lien put against his house for medical. Can they still touch his house if it is in my name? Is this legal? Shannon
Hi svanhoo!
Welcome to forums!
If the property is transferred in your name, then a lien cannot be placed against the property because of your brother's medical bills. However, if the nursing home has already filed a judgment against him, then it would be fraudulent on his part to transfer the property to you.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
