MERP Recovery w/Disabled Adult Child

(Texas)

My mother, who resides in Texas, is on Medicaid since age 65. If she leaves her only disabled child out of her will, can the government recover their expenses? My mother does not get along with that disabled adult child and she has disinherited him in her will.

Medicaid Recovery Rules
by: Mo Johnson

Your mother is not required to leave anything to any of her children. The state will be entitled to recover all the past Medicaid payments it made during your mother's life to cover her care under Medicaid. If there is anything remaining after the state is paid back, it will pass according to her will.

Thanks to Gabriel Heiser for the above info. You can find other helpful info at www.medicaidsecrets.com.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
