<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Greetings - </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I have a client where there is question about overall solvency as they do not know what any total medicaid lien would be and whether there is room for negotiation (keep in mind, we haven't even presented a petition yet). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">There is real property - house - with a reverse mortgage and a real estate agent who is pushing them (and subsequently me) to obtain an order from the court granting the right to sell the house for the appraisal value done by the agent as being the "market value" immediately upon opening of probate with the idea that it will save the estate money in additional interest. '</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">This is a first for me - I have never had a real estate agent pushing my clients to sell immediately. There is a reasonable belief there are no unknown creditors but generally, I advise clients to wait until after the notice to creditor period before selling off assets - especially since the sale is not going to be public. It will never be actually listed on the MLS so whether someone may come and offer more than the list price is unknown. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">This makes me uneasy - but at the same time I have covered my own self and will acquiesce to the clients instruction as to I don't believe it to be 1) unethical or 2) illegal. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Would love to hear from the group. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Thank you!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Brent</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Brent
