Ask the Expert: Medicaid asset claim
My late father's will created a supplemental needs trust for my mother's benefit. The family house and a $100,000 money market account went into the trust in 2005. Mom is now almost 94, living at home with a live-in health aide. Now the trust is running out of money. We'd like to apply for Medicaid to keep her at home with an aide. After she dies, can Medicaid put a lien on the house?
No....
