ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
My grandparents own their property and want me to have it as a result of them passing away. I thought they put my name on the deed but didn’t. I need to know how do i go about that.
ANSWER BY MARGARET CROSS-BELIVEAU:
Depending on what their goals are changing the deed might not be the best option. Adding you opens the property up to your creditors. It is a gift and results in a disqualifying transfer for Medicaid. It would be best for your grandparents to contact an attorney to help them plan for their property when they pass away.
