By creating the deed like this Barry is not only taking his name off of the deed but he is also giving his wife the house to live in for the rest of her life. This will accomplish what Barry wants as far as his future Medicaid eligibility and the issue of his creditors targeting the property. It is legally documented that after both Barry and Lucy’s death their children will equally divide the property as tenants in common and be able to do what they wish with their share of the property.
