Did you know there’s a department of every state government that seizes dead people’s houses and sells them to pay hospitals they died in, leaving their children with nothing?

@kate not only that, people who have been on medicaid for “too long” also have their houses seized, again leaving their children with nothing.

@kate happened to my gf when her grandma with dementia died. the state seized the house and left them with nothing

@kate i wonder if they do this even if they hospital has failed to respect a DNR

@kate the answer seems to be "nobody knows, but maybe you could sue the hospital"

@kate

Department Of Human Services, I believe.

It's why rich people keep lawyers retained and those lawyers make them things like Irrevocable Trusts. (Not a lawyer, but I work around 'em. For now.)
