[healthcare]

IL (US). 9 mos ago mom quit claimed to me our home. how do I protect myself from "the powers that be" from taking the home as a former asset of my mom's now that she has to go to a nursing home.

Did you record the deed at the courthouse?

Were there any other previously unsatisfied liens on the property?

Yes, deed is recorded.
No, there are no liens.

Then the property belongs to you.

Unless you personally have a lien placed against the (your) property, no one else can make a claim to it at this point.

It no longer belongs to your mom, and no one can attach it based on your mom's prior rights to the property.
