I’m buying a tax foreclosure that has an existing Medicaid lien from the foreclosed owner. Title report shows the lien as open and the local city is telling me that this will be “cut off”. Do I need to do anything before or after closing to ensure this is taken care of? I contacted the local Medicaid office and the existing balance is $9500. Title company will not be able to insure this property for at least two years. I have talked to the title company and my attorney but I wanted to see what the knowledge of BP has to offer.
