Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quit Claim with lien on Property

Due to some medical expenses, a hospital attorney placed a lien on property owned by my parents. I purchased a mobile home and put it on the property and am wondering if my parents can deed the property over to me with the lien on the property. I am not interested in selling the property, but would like to be able to file for homestead exemption since I am buying the mobile home and it is my primary residence. My parents have a primary residence in another town and file homestead exemption there. The property taxes now are approximately double what they would be if I could file the homestead exemption. Thank you for your help.
