Hello. This is a very complicated area of the law and you should sit down with an attorney face to face and discuss with him or her the extent to which a lien can be placed on real property in your dad's name for the cost of his nursing home care. Dealing with medicaid is a whole different issue. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail with more specifics from you.
