Appellant made a disqualifying transfer of the value of his half of the property, or $250,000.00, as the transfer precluded MassHealth from placing a lien on it; the action taken, removing the appellant as a joint owner of the property, made it impossible for MassHealth to place a lien on it; MassHealth would have been entitled to a lien because neither the appellant nor his spouse lived in it at the time of application; the appellant did not receive anything for the transfer, thus it is disqualifying; given the proximity between the appellant’s application and the transfer, only a few weeks, qualifying for MassHealth was a factor, thus satisfying the intent requirement.
