Hi. My Mom was in a nursing home and my Dad got her on Medicaid using intent to return home than he passed away and the nursing home received his pension and social security. They never asked for more money but asked for her bank account every June. She had not a lot of money. I bought the house which was in her name and now she passed away June 6th. Her account has the money from the house. I haven't head from the nursing home! I am attempting to do an administrative process to distribute her money. Will the nursing home go after the money at a later date?
You mentioned that you are attempting to do an "administrative process" to distribute your mother's money. Is this a proceeding in Probate Court? Probate proceedings would require that you notify interested parties, and your state's Medicaid agency would have an interest in recovering any funds that were paid for care during your Mom's lifetime.
If you have taken on responsibility for settling your Mom's estate, you need to talk with an Elder Law - Estate Settlement Attorney now. Explain to the Attorney the real estate transaction that you mentioned. You do need representation and legal advice.
