Tim,
I have dealt with this issue with a friend/client. The issue with Medicaid beneficiaries selling property is the impact it has on their eligibility. If their income/assets exceed specified limits they may lose their benefits. You can view the Income and Asset Limits for Texas Medicaid Program at http://www.premack.com/links/txmedicaid.htm.
I am not an attorney, have not played one on TV, and have not stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Your clients should consult with their attorney or Medicaid representative.
