Under Assets protection, my 95 year old dad living in orange county NC, was told that he could sell a .5% interest of his farm (valued @ $346,000), to each of his 9 kids. Is this true and if so, where can I find that Medicaid rule and/or the NC stature? p.s How does this work? Thanks you in advance for your prompt response in this important matter.

NC has very complex farm rules, but first and foremost it must still be a working farm that nets 6% of its value each year. 346000x6% is 20,760. There are special rules for tobacco allotments. Special rules for personal consumption of the farm products. Personally, I would want a good estate lawyer with farm experience to sit down with.

As far as I know, Medicaid allows an applicant to sell 100% of their assets, to family or otherwise, at a fair market price. But then the applicant still has to use the proceeds of the sale for their own care before Medicaid kicks in.

I guess I don't understand what you are asking?

rufust59, you would need to contact the North Carolina Medicaid office to see if there is such a rule or set up a meeting with an Elder Law attorney.
