[WSBAPT] Statute of Limitations on DSHS Medicaid Lien

[Diane J. Kiepe]

If
This got me curious – quick goggle search found this


  *   DSHS will file a lien or make a claim against property that is included in the deceased individual's estate. Prior to filing a lien against real or titled property, the department gives notice and an opportunity for a hearing to the probate estate's personal representative, if any, or any other person known to have title to the affected property. Liens placed through the Estate Recovery process are valid for 20 years.

At least one case in another state says statute runs from date of death not time of filing.

Since it was literally new to me, I wouldn’t be offended for others to double check me 😉

Listmates:

Clients mother started receiving Medicaid benefits in 2006.  DSHS filed lien against mom’s “unfinished” home in 2007.  Mom died in 2010.  DSHS has not foreclosed its lien.  Is there a statute of limitations for DSHS to foreclose?
