Did you aunt, live in Florida? If so the PR is personally responsible for the taxes that are due if they are not paid. We would need to know more facts to see how the estate was probated and where to tell you an answer.

Unfortunately you are probably too late do to anything..Medicade has a 5 year (60 month) lookback so if you try shielding her assets now they will come after you for the assets back.. There may be other sources of $$ to recoup some of it.. such as if she was a veteran (there is a program that may get you a small amount) HOWEVER If you suspect that she will be in the home for more than 5 years... contact an appropriate estate planning attorney immediately! While she may have to pay the first 5 years, you might be able to shield any assets over $300K (5 yrs x 12 x $5200= $312K).
