RE: NJ Law when heir inherits a home with a 2nd mortgage.

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The answers to this question depend on the mortgage, and the terms of the will.  The will may stipulate that the heirs take the property subject to the mortgage.  If that's the case, the heirs can take over the mortgage payments, but technically, the heirs should have the mortgage redone in their name.  Changing the title to the property could cause an acceleration of the mortgage and require immediate payment.  A bigger question becomes, what happened to the proceeds of the second mortgage?  Did the decedent take that in a lump payment and it went to other heirs?   Can the first and second mortgages be combined and refinanced?  Rates are good now and it might be worth your while to qualify and re-do the whole thing.

Can my brother sell my deceased mothers car?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It does not make him the sole heir of the vehicle.  He is entitled to be reimbursed for the payments that he made, but the remaining equity in the vehicle is an estate asset.  IF the car is sold, he should pay himself back what he paid, and then divide the remaining balance.

I have a 5 year old quit claim deed, signed and notorized, but not yet recorded...Does Medicaid Look Back start on the date the deed was notarized...

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A deed has no legal effect until it is delivered.  Recording is the best evidence of recording.  If the recording date falls withing the 60 month Medicaid lookback period, the transfer might well be seen as a transfer for less than fair market value in an attempt to qualify for Medicaid. Please also note that in most states a quitclaim deed does not transfer title.  It is merely a public acknowledgement of an agreement to quit making whatever claim the maker may have to land, often to an easement over land.
