| | | DSHS lien
What is the name of your state? Washington. My brother recently had a major stroke. He was unemployed at the time with no health insurance. I am trying to build a new home with a mother-in-law apartment on my property. DSHS will have a lien on my brother upon his death. If he dies before I do, will I have to pay off his lien, or will it transfer to me upon my death? He owns a house, which DSHS said he can sell and put the equity into another home or share a home with me. |

| | | Why would you think you would have to pay off someone else's lien?
Does brother own real estate?
Can you clarify your question? |

| | | DSHS lien
My brother owns a home right now. It is paid off. He lives so far away from me, it's hard to care for him. I'm in the process of buying a piece of land to build my house and also a mother-in-law house for him. DSHS said I could roll his money over to the new place on MY land, but he will have a lien placed on him upon his death. My question is...what happens to that lien, since he's on my property? Would it roll over to me? |

**A: the lien would be attached to your property. So do not put him on title. |
