Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
How do you go about changing the deed to a house to a relative? My neice took care of her grandmother for over two years and her grandmother just got on medicaid and medicaid said to transfer the house and property to the neice. I am the power of attorney and I need to find out what I have to do to get this done.

I assure you is it untrue that Medicaid said the grandmother should transfer the house and property to the niece. For one thing, home ownership does not disqualify a person from Medicaid. If someone by monkeying around did convey title out of the grandmother's name to a third party, then Medicaid probably would be entitled to recover the house and may also be entitled to recover damages from the fiduciary (you) who caused the transfer. I suggest you spend a few hundred dollars of grandmother's money to confer with a lawyer experienced in elder law matters. Good luck.
