My mother was a Medicaid recipient who passed away less than a year ago. She owned home that was transferred to me after it went through the probate process. Months later, I received a letter from Medicaid saying that it was putting a lien on the home. Can Medicaid do this after the home has gone through the process in court?
Probate is a state-based process. For example, in some states, the state Medicaid agency is given notice of all probate proceedings and has a deadline for filing a claim. If it misses that deadline, it's out of luck. But a step might have been skipped in your situation.
