When the person passes on and Medical Assistance puts a lien on their house, do they let the surviving family members live there?

The lien would then be satisfied if the house were sold. (I'm thinking of a brother and sister I know, who live in the same house but it's in only one name for tax reasons. They are NOT well to do and the survivor (if the eldest goes first) would need that house to live in during their remaining years.) I am hoping they don't sell the house to satisfy the lien upon the death of the one who owns the house, if s/he was the one on MA long term care?

Paperwork should be sent to the person of record. In that paperwork questions will be asked about anyone living at the property at time of Medicaid recipients death. You cannot move someone in after the person passes. The must be a resident at time of death.

I just got my recovery paperwork. This is just a short version of the paragraph about some living in the house.

If a family member has been living in the house and it has been their main residence and the main residence of the Medicaid recipient, a lean will be put on the house but not recouped until the family member dies or the house is sold.
