My dad was on Medi-Cal when he passed 10 years ago. The state put a lien on the house we shared. If I die the house has to be sold and my underage children will have to move. I couldn’t afford to pay the $40,000 ten years ago and I can’t afford to pay the $70,000 now. Do I have any other options?
Also Make sure you pay the property taxes. I’d be way waaaaAAay more worried about your loosing the house due to delinquent property taxes than MERP.
Being that the average house is near a million dollars and you only owe 70k, though, selling the home might not be a bad deal.
