My mother quit claimed her home to me and my brother. We need to sell her home to take care of her and want to know if we do sell it, and there is money left over, will it affect her continuing to receive her medicare/medicaid. We don't want her to lose that

Galvin,

As your mother has quit claimed the home to you and your brothers it is no longer her property, you can sell it. And it will not have any affect on her medicaid benefits as the profit from the sale of the home will not be considered as her income.

Hi Kilah,

Welcome to the forums.

If your mother sells the home, she will have to use the sale proceeds to purchase a new primary residence within a period of 90 days. If there is no Medicaid lien, she can arrange for the sale easily.

However, if she has already quit claimed her property to you, she is no longer the owner and hence selling the home won't affect her Medicaid benefits.

Thanks,

Sara

Hi Kilah,

Transferring property for less than its fair market value makes the grantor ineligible for currently received long term Medicaid benefits and also for future benefits for as long as 5 years after the date of transfer of property depending upon when the transfer was made.

If your mom has transferred you the property within 5 years after filing the Medicaid application, then it will prevent her from getting the benefits from the Medicaid.

However, if your mom has already transferred the property and then intends to apply for Medicaid while you sell property, it will not affect the benefits.

Thanks

Hi mandy!

Welcome to forums!

You can transfer the property to your three heirs. I don't think there would be any problems in that. You can contact your real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter as well. The attorney will also help you in drafting the deed which you will use to transfer the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
