Medicaid estate recovery- My mother in law recently died and has a son who is disabled, but did not live at the home the time of her death. She did not go into a nursing home and was only being taken care of by aides a little over a year in her home. She paid for medical insurance and also had Medicare at the time of her death. Can Medicaid recover anything from the property if she did have Medicaid over five years ago she died at age 83?
Is the son on SSD and Medicaid. Will he get a portion of the sale? If so, u may want to look into a Special Needs Trust to protect his portion. If he gets money it will effect his Medicaid.
