- Q. Which deed would be better for protecting my parents house in Florida from medicaid a ladybird deed or a quitclaim deed?
- A: 100% lady bird deed. This is because the owner remains the sole owner (with right to sell, rent, change remainderman) until death. Only at death does the ownership interest change. This is important because transferring assets within five year of applying for medicaid can result in a penalty, which you want to avoid. A quit-claim deed is a transfer of assets. To learn more about lady bird deeds. here is an article and video: https://www.elderneedslaw.com/lady-bird-deed https://youtu.be/v5Bl21LiKrI

- Q. My mom moved in with me so I could take care of her as she does not want to go into a home. She paid off my mortgage.
- A: Unfortunately, its her house (partially, as she's on the deed) and you cannot force her to spend her money as unfair as it may seem.
