Q: Can a hospital sale your home you live in with your disabled nephew that they put a lien on for unpaid bills?
my friends mother passed away last year and he moved into her house to take care of his disabled nephew, He didn't know there was unpaid hospital bill. they gave him 3 weeks to pay it and took a lien out on the house. Can they sale the house and make him move.
A: There are a lot of details missing from your question that could impact the final result. The type of medical services provided, the amount of the lien, the person against whom the lien is filed, and any lawsuit and court documents that you have so far would all play a part in determining the outcome. I would very strongly suggest consulting with an attorney and discussing all of the information that you have in order to determine what the best course of action would be.
