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...

Terry Lynn Garrett
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.

Townhouse in my name only

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If you put your husband's name on the deed you can do it as joint tenants with right of survivoship.  That way the townshouse will pass to himautomoatically upon your deaht, and will pass to you automatically upon his death.  Without changing the deed, the property will not pass automatically to him on your death even though you are husband and wife.

The realty is owned as tenants in common by husband and wife. When the first spouse died no estate tax was filed and the will was not probated.When

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is no estate tax between husband and wife so no estate tax return would have to be filed.  I'm not sure why you are concerned about who gets what share if both spouses are dead.  Were the wills of each person different?  Is the disposition different?  Or is the concern did the whole house pass to the surviving spouse, and then the surviving spouse's will governs what happens to the house?  If you have more information, please feel free to call.
