Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: land seizure by a nursing home

If yor description is correct, your grandfather has a life estate interest in the property and your brother owns the "remainder" interest. it would be theoretically possoble, but unlikely, that a nursing home would "take" the life ineterest. the only thing it could possibly do with it would be to rent it out until your father passes. in any event, how is I that the nursing home is trying to "take" the property? have they filed a suit? your family should have a lawyer look at this and try to give you some info based on detailed facts... before things get screwed up the nursing home.

call if you want to chat about it.

Re: land seizure by a nursing home

From what you say (that your grandfather has "lifetime rights" to the property (generally known as a lifetime estate) and your brother has either clear title to the property or what's called a remainder interest (full ownership after the life of your grandfather), the nursing home can't take any more of the property than your grandfather has a right to.
