Re: Life Estate Warranty Deed

First of all, I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. If your father owned a life estate then the property passed to someone else upon your father's death and I do not believe that medicaid, or the state, can make a claim against the property. However, you may want to have an attorney review the deed you are referring to in your question in order to get specific advice.
