My mother is on Medicaid (M'cd) in NJ since 1983, she had her more put her on the deed as a joint tenant in 1993. My grandmother then passed away 1993. So, my mother managed to place a home at risk of M'cd recovery. Isn't that just perfect?
I am 59 and permanently + totally disabled residing with my daughter in another location. So, far I have managed to keep her from entering a home, by taking her to doctor, community help, visiting nurse assoc. covered by Medicare, + living in my home as necessary.
I have gone to several attorneys because ov conflicting legal advise. The 1st laywer said no problem, transfer to life estate as gift + notify SSI and M'cd; 2nd lawyer said don't use a retained life estate because of taxes if house sold before death; the 3rd lawyer gave free advise that NJ wasn't honoring the disabled child transfer + that I can not receive the property free + clear because my mother is already on M'cd, but can live in the home and M'cd will take it back when I pass on. A 4th lawyer gave pre consult advise + said no problem with transfer he has NJ in Federal court + will win. Can she already be on M'cd + give me home without Medicaid lien or ever being able to recover the estate??? if yes, what can I do to get something from the equity, what is the best move???
This problem has been weighing on my life for bout two years, i can't bear the indecision of what to do. Especially after a couple of lawyers said .....No Problem. |
