Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

Both your parents are deceased and they haven't left any will. In this case, any transfer of property now can be considered as fraudulent by Medicaid. In my opinion, you should contact an attorney who is an expert in the Medicaid laws of your state and take his opinion in this regard. He will be the best person to help you in this regard.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

You need to contact an Estate Planning Attorney, because the question you're asking is comprehensive and we're all guessing. This is my guess:

The Estate will need to go through the Probate process, and after that, after its been determined who will hold Title, that person (those people) will have to pay Medicaid back what's owed them for providing Long Term Care provisions. The house will be sold to recover the money if they're unable to come up with the money.
