Legal Question in Business Law in California

URGENT - - Medi-Cal pay back:

My parents are 66 and 65 years of age (Dad 66 & Mom 65) and my mom has been receiving Medi-Cal since April 2012, due to being diagnosed with colon cancer. My parents own their home in Redwood City, CA, it's paid off, and they have 6 children (me being the oldest).

Monday, October 26, the doctor said my mom has approx. 2 months left to live... : ( They do not have a Will or Trust. At the death of the 2nd spouse to die, their wishes are to divide their home into 6 equal shares (gift their home into 6 equal shares.

When the 2nd spouse dies, can Medi-Cal go after their home to pay for the meds and medical treatment my parents' received? (I want to say yes. t I'm not sure if someone told me about this, or if I read it somewhere?)

Please advise. Thanks!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your family's situation.

You posted your question under Business Law, but it is actually about Probate, Trusts, Wills & Estates. I recommend re-posting it under that category. More lawyers with the relevant expertise will see it there, and future users with similar questions will be more likely to find it.
