Affected: IC 12-15-3-6; IC 12-15-9
Sec. 7.1.
(a) This
section applies after the death of the Medicaid member whose property is
subject to a lien under this rule or after the sale or other transfer of
property that is subject to the lien.
(b) A lien under this rule is void if both of
the following occur:
(1) The owner of property
subject to a lien under this rule or any person or corporation having an
interest in the property, including a mortgagee or a lienholder, provides
written notice to the office to file an action to foreclose the lien.
(2) The office fails to file an action to
foreclose the lien in the county where the property is located not later than
thirty (30) days after receiving the notice. However, this section does not
prevent the claim from being collected as other claims are collected by
law.
(c) A person who
gives notice under subsection (b)(1) by registered or certified mail to the
office at the address given in the recorded statement and notice of intention
to hold a lien may file an affidavit of service of the notice to file an action
to foreclose the lien with the recorder of the county in which the property is
located. The affidavit must state the following:
(1) The facts of the notice.
(2) That more than thirty (30) days have
passed since the notice was received by the office.
(3) That no action for foreclosure of the
lien is pending.
(4) That no
unsatisfied judgment has been rendered on the lien.
(d) The recorder shall:
(1) record the affidavit of service in the
miscellaneous record book of the recorder's office; and
(2) certify on the face of the record any
lien that is fully released.
When the recorder records the affidavit and certifies the record under this subsection, the real estate described in the lien is released from the lien.
