Re: Medicaid real property lien

No, their homestead interests are exempt based on the information provided. You can confirm by contacting Florida Medicaid offices re specific situation. Certain income and property are exempt from Medicaid lien or attachment. Often it is best to dispose of such real property interests prior to application for Medicaid; you may wish to consult with elder law attorney or Medicaid office re exempt property before application.
