<p class="MsoNormal">Transfer on Death Deeds have been around for a few years now, but this is my first time assisting a client with selling the residence after the grantor died. Title Report has an exception for potential Medicaid lien on grantor’s estate.
Any suggestion how I can go about clearing that? Title Company had suggested a Lack of Probate affidavit, but that seems like overkill. I’m slightly disappointed that the Transfer on Death does not seem to vest title quite so automatically. Thanks for any
help.<u></u><u></u></p>
