Winslow, AZ asked in Estate Planning for Tennessee

Q: My son and I will be moving to Knoxville to live close to my brothers. He, Justin is a 28 yo man with IDD. He will own

Home and have SSI and Medicaid. Once he enters a group home,I suppose Medicaid will put a lien against his house, but when it sells, won’t it put him over the limit and then not be able to reside in the group home?
