I was getting off track from the OP so to be proper, I figured I would ask in an independant thread.
My question was regarding Medicares (as Aaron put it) clawback laws that allow them to seek funds from various sources. This particular situation was about a life estate.
The following question came about in response to Aarons and lwpats posting of the possibility of placing a lein on a property that the medicare recipients connection to the property was as the grantee/grantor of a life estate.
================================================== ======
I was under the understanding there was a standard 5 year rule concerning such an action. Was I misunderstanding or have they been whittleing away at that time constraint?
and if such an action would be considered an attempt to protect the assets, would the Medicare folks do more than simply lein the property? Would they not actively seek the funds from the (possibly forced) sale of the property rather than wait?
