Hutchinson, 39 Mass. App. Ct. 634,659 N.E. 2nd 2012, 2016, “DelivA Board of Hearing decision rendered on June 17, 2020, confirmed that the date that the deed was executed is to be considered the date of transfer and not the date the deed was actually recorded. MassHealth had denied benefits to the applicant based upon its view that since the deed was actually recorded within five years of submitting the application for MassHealth benefits, a disqualifying transfer occurred. Based upon the value of the transferred asset, the applicant would have a penalty period of 317 days. During that penalty period, no MassHealth benefits would be paid. The applicant transferred her home to an irrevocable trust and reserved a life estate. MassHealth valued the remainder interest transferred into the trust at $116,344. Chapter 183, Section 1 of the Massachusetts General Laws states that “A deed executed and delivered by the person, or by the attorney for the person, havery occurs where the grantor intends the deed to effect a present transfer of the property conveyed, and the grantee assents to the conveyance.” The hearing officer held that since more than five years had elapsed since the applicant had executed the deed, the transfer of the home into the trust was not a disqualifying transfer and not subject to the five year look back period. He went on to say that the applicant’s signature on the deed was evidence that she intended “the deed to affect a present transfer of the property conveyed.” Her son was the trustee of the Trust and by executing the trustee certificate as well as the trust instrument itself, acknowledged his assent to the conveyance. This is an important hearing as well as important case law to remember. Oftentimes, deeds are not recorded right after they are executed. Nonetheless, the transfer, as a matter of law, has occurred as of the date of execution of the deed. This is key when determining whether or not you have satisfied the five year look back period.
