Crayon Asked November 2015

Can my Mom qualify for Medicaid if her name is on the deed of the house along with her children's names?

freqflyer Nov 2015
Crayon, yes your Mom can qualify. A house isn't counted at the time of application and approval.

When were the children's names placed on the Deed? If the names were placed within the 5 year look back, Medicaid could place a lien on the house and obtain all the profits, if any. If the names were placed lets say 6 years ago, then Medicaid would place a lien on your Mother's share of the house.

Yes.

Medicaid recipients may own a house and a car. These are not counted in the net worth calculations.

Depends on her status. Is she a Life Tenant? Does the state you live in assign a value to Life Tenant status?
