He quit-claimed the house to me a couple of years later. He has some unpaid medical bills and the hospital is suing him. Can they put a lien on the house or take it away? Thank you in advance for your thoughtful answers. Nancy _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

As your father is one of the owners of the property, the hospital authorities can place a lien on the house in order to recover their dues. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane

Thus, they cannot put a lien on the property to take it away. _________________ Disclaimer: This is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer.
