Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My father just passed away and I will be selling his house. He has been in a nursing home for 4 years and Medicaid will likely file a claim when the estate goes into probate. Is there a point when Medicaid can no longer file a claim? Would it benefit me to wait to sell the house? His house is in Florida.

If he is a Florida resident, the homestead is exempt. However, there may be some complications depending upon the circumstances.
