She should hire a NJ estate lawyer. No, she should not be liable unless she co-signed. An estate may need to be opened. If there are insufficient assets of the husband to pay the debts, the court will discharge the claims.

I am 1/3 beneficiary to deceased Mother’s home.It sold and the executor is demanding by social by tomorrow.Must I give that to him?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
What is your "social"? Do you mean your social security number?  That seems unnecessary.  The title company handling the sale should simply issue a check in your name.  It could ask for your bank routing and account number and send a wire transfer or electronic check instead.  But no one needs to have your social security number to make a distribution of your share of the estate or to report that that has been done.  At most, the executor needs you to sign a Receipt and Release once you have received the funds and anything else due you from the estate.

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.
