While the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program varies from states to state, most (maybe all) states will not seek to enforce the lien while a surviving spouse resides in the home. Talk to a local elder law attorney. You can find one using the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
