About 5 years ago, my fathers attorney completed a Property Transfer Tax return transferring the ownership of my parents home to myself & my wife under a Life Estate Agreement. The property tax return lists the buyer's to be:

"John Smith L/U Tim & Sue Smith" "Becky Smith L/U Tim & Sue Smith"

Tim and Sue Smith are my parents & original owners of their home. John & Becky Smith are their Son & Daughter in Law.

Both buyers & sellers signed the completed form. Soon afterwards, my mother Sue Smith passed away. Through all of the confusion, it now appears that though the paperwork was completed & Signed in 2003, the transaction was never officially field with the state.

My question now is, can we simply file this transfer with the state, even though it is dated 2003 and that my mother has since passed away. This transfer should have taken place over 5 years ago, and would like it recorded accordingly, to help prevent Medicaid from ever recovering funds from my father's estate, should we ever have to apply for Medicaid assistance if he went into a nursing home.
