My grandmother already has a will leaving her home to my mother. She is applying for medicaid and will possibly be put in a nursing home. Does she need another form of document so the home won't be taken away?

Hi jdiazsoto.

Welcome to the forum.

You can use a Ladybird deed as it is approved in Texas. But I would suggest you to talk with an Estate Planning Attorney in you state.

Best of luck,

Will this deed prevent a lien being placed on the property if she takes the Medicaid coverage and remains in a nursing facility? Is drawing up the deed legal to do while she is taking the Medicaid coverage. There is balance owed on the property.

Hi j

I think you are the original poster. Isn't it? So are you posting as a guest? As far as I know Ladybird deed protects the property from lien. Even in Florida the ladybird deed protects from medical lien. But I don't know whether it protects you from the medical lien or not? So I would suggest you to contact with an attorney before you go for the ladybird deed.

Best of luck,
Larry

Why not use quitclaim deed and life life estate?

Hello smaildaytoday.

You are right. jdiazsoto can use a lift estate deed but if he uses a quitclaim deed then he cannot get the Medicaid facilities. So better use a Enhance Life Estate deed or ladybird deed
