My deceased Grandparents had a house in Memphis that they left to my Dad and Aunt (both deceased) There are 9 Grandchildren (3 deceased) to which I am the only one wanting the property. I have paid all the back taxes and had the house demolished as per the city requirement How do I get the property transferred to my name. One deceased Grandchild has one daughter in Canada (14 yrs old)

My mom recently moved and is wanting to sign her house over to me. The house is in Tennessee. My mom has medical bills so my question is if she passes away could the state take the house to pay for the medical bills?

Thanks for your comment. Our Attorney said, generally, if your mother transfers the house to you during her lifetime, it could affect Medicaid eligibility and potential estate recovery for medical expenses, depending on the timing and circumstances of the transfer. Tennessee’s Medicaid program (TennCare) may seek to recover costs from the estate of a deceased recipient, which can include the home if it is still owned by your mother at her death. However, if the property is transferred before certain look-back periods, it could impact eligibility for benefits or trigger penalties. I recommend scheduling a consult with one of our attorneys familiar with elder law and Medicaid planning in Tennessee to discuss the specifics of your situation. Please call us at 423-648-7865.
