I have a 5 year old quit claim deed, signed and notorized, but not yet recorded...Does Medicaid Look Back start on the date the deed was notarized...

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A deed has no legal effect until it is delivered.  Recording is the best evidence of recording.  If the recording date falls withing the 60 month Medicaid lookback period, the transfer might well be seen as a transfer for less than fair market value in an attempt to qualify for Medicaid. Please also note that in most states a quitclaim deed does not transfer title.  It is merely a public acknowledgement of an agreement to quit making whatever claim the maker may have to land, often to an easement over land.

I want to know if you can remain anonymous when collecting Lottery Winnings in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can remain anonymous, however, the lottery winnings are taxed, and a tax paying entity must be identified.  It is my undesigning that you can establish a trust, obtain a tax payer identification number for the trust, and allow the trust to accept the lottery winnings.  The trust would then be taxed.

Do I need to do anything at all after my widowed mother died last month?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
From your description, it appears that you need do nothing.  The creditor(s) can probate the estate if they see value in doing so.
