How do you find out where to buy a house that was taken over from the state after a patient was on Medicare and passed away?

metalhead43, sorry there isn't any such list, like one would find for foreclosures or HUD properties that are For Sale, where one could get a good purchasing price on a home.

Such homes, that have Medicaid liens, are sold by the heirs thru regular means at fair market value.

I think you mean Medicaid. Medicaid, as worried said, does not take homes. I would check with Probate to see if a Will was filed. That will give you the Executor or the Administrator. Do what Worried suggested or even the Tax office. If the house is just sitting and taxes are not being paid, the house will eventually go up for sheriffs sale to cover the taxes.

Generally the state doesn’t take the house. A lien is placed on the house & if/when the house is sold, the proceeds of the sale are used to satisfy the lien. If you have the address of the property, you can find out who the current owner is, by contacting the county assessors office. Medicaid and the state don’t put properties up for sale.
