Can they take a house that is in two people's names?

My mother may have to enter long-term nursing for an undetermined amount of time. The house is in both of our names, with a survivorship clause. Can the house be taken from me?

They may be able to put a lean against it. You should see an elder law attorney or estate attorney who is well acquainted in the Medicaid laws.

Good luck,
Carol
