wrong email address resubmitting question

i sent you a question on 8-4-05 but realized after i sent it that i had given the wrong email address. to reiterate the question was :

my my is on social security disablity and medicaid she owns her home and wants to know what to do to make sure if anything happens to her that my family and i don't lose it to the state. social security has waived her property taxes and she has put my name on a deed of trust. but what should she do to make sure that it isn't lost should she pay the taxes and/or put my name on the title? she only gets $589 a month and she is afraid of losing what she has worked so hard to buy and leaving her child and grandchildren with nothing. i told her i would try to find out what we needed to do but i myself am low income as well and can't afford a great deal. any advice and sugguestions would be greatly appreciated.thank you very much for your time.

Re: wrong email address resubmitting question

At this point in time, there is nothing you can do, based upon what you have told me, to avoid a lien from DSHS regarding the Medicaid financal assistance that she is already receiving. In fact, by putting your name on a deed of some sort, you could have jeopardized her ability to receive assistance in the future. If your name was put on a deed of trust, in what capacity are you so listed? If you were listed on that deed as a beneficiary, that could be a bad situation. It appears that you are too late to avoid a lien from DSHS but I really do not have enough detailed information to give you a proper response. You may contact me at my office on Monday afternoon, 8/8/05, after 2:00 P.M. if you wish to discuss this situation with me on the telephone, by calling me at 360-657-3886.
