My husband was donated a house from an uncle (whom never had kids) in 2014 in La. Husband sold house in 2015. Uncle was in nursing home with Medicaid from 2014 - 2017 (died 3/17). Medicaid sent a letter addressed to me (I have nothing to do with it, my name isn't on anything) saying I owe 52,000 for estate recovery. There is no estate and my name wasn't on anything. The family lawyer in La. said do nothing with this letter, they shouldn't have sent it to me. Is this correct?
"Title search has to have come back clean or it would have stopped the sale. It's over. The funds may or may not be gone right now, but regardless, you can't attach someone's bank account."
Please be aware that bank accounts CAN be attached. It needs a court order, but Medicaid claw-backs are court backed. Also, just the title search is for the benefit of the buyer. It doesn't matter in this case because we are discussing the seller, who could still have a legal liability.
