This has been terrible!!!We met with a lawyer and he told us we would have hardship because there is nothing we can gift back, the bank owns the property. We had a meeting with the Medicaid specialist at the nursing home he told us our lawyer is wrong and a terrible lawyer. They want us to put my grandmother on the deed, and then medicaid can't put a lein on the house. My grandmother's life expectancy is 4-6months, the property assesment at the time of transfer was 40,000-45,000. My fiance does not want to put her on the deed, and does the bank allow this? I'm so lost, bullied, tired and sad. What do I do? I just want this all to stop, so I can morn her death.
My understanding is that if GM is on the deed, Medicaid will have a claim against it after she dies.
