UPDATE: A PVA search reveals that the now-deceased MIL apparently put her now-deceased son (my friend's husband) on the deed or deeded it to him before her death, as his name alone (and not his wife's OR mother's) is now on the deed, unbeknownst to my friend, who believes it's still solely in the MIL's name. His name is also, along with his wife's, on the deed of the house they used to but now don't occupy, which the son does occupy and thinks of is his. So, if Medicaid does a cursory PVA search (it took me two minutes), they'll find that the husband, at least, doesn't qualify to have his bills paid retroactively by virtue of owning two houses at the time. Nor will his wife (my friend) be eligible since her name is on the deed of a property she doesn't occupy herself, in addition to inheriting a $10k life insurance policy.
Correct?
I'm getting my popcorn ready for when the greedy son is told he has to pay for his own house like everyone else does.
