Lien Against Estate (Wills & Trusts)

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 13:33:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? WA
The state has placed a lien ($120k) against the real property in my Aunts estate to pay for state funded medical expenses she received while on Medicare. As personal representative can I close probate and continue to live in the home deferring payment of the lien until after the house is eventually sold? Or will the state force me to sell the home before I close probate?What is the name of your state?

  • The estate has a responsibility to FIRST pay the creditors from estate assets.
    You personally benefiting from the house to avoid paying the lien is a breach of your fiduciary responsibilities.

  • You cannot ignore bills of the estate.
    Pay it.
