Handy info, since I'm basically in the same position as Elm Grove. Just took care of a transfer of ownership for my late mother's interest.
An active well on property since 1981, has been through at least 3 or 4 companies, decimal interests to the nth, and the heirs get diddly-squat. :rotflmao:

OP used the term Medicare.
I think sometimes people get Medicare and Medicaid confused.

It's Medicaid that pays for long term care. You must meet resource and income limitations for qualification.

That's what I was told. When people recieving Medicare require care that exceeds what Medicare is willing to pay, the institution then applies for Medicaid. It depends on whether or not an individual qualifies for Medicaid.
I'm not sure if equating Medicare to welfare is a valid one. Medicare has many limitations.
In some cases, equating Medicaid to welfare can be a valid one.

Do you not also understand that my mom and dad pay some out of pocket expenses now as well so that my grandparents can stay in the nicer facility that they are in?

I think that is how Medicare works anyway. Medicare does not pay for long term care; nursing home or otherwise. Medicare will pay for temporary in-home or nursing home care, or temporary reabilitation care, but not long term.
Medicare will of course do a lot more for the patient if that patient is entered under a hospice care program and expected to live less than six months.
I took care of my mother at home for 10 years and had a lot of invovement with Medicare. She worked all her life and lived 30 years after retirement from her job.
You name it, I did it for her. There were periods where Medicare paid for in home care as ordered by the hospital or physician, but each time, it lasted less than six weeks.
I was informed that the most inexpensive permanent nursing home in the area, would cost 90 dollars a day. I checked it out, and decided I wouldn't keep a stray cat there. couldn't afford it anyway.

That's been my personal experience with Medicare... but perhaps the rules vary between states.... I don't know.

Now, I think Medicaid works a bit differently.

Regarding the poster who prefers to be shot than taken care of by the kids, that's the poster's choice.:rolleyes:
I was with my mom as she took her last breath. She was very disabled and needed constant care. It was extremely difficult caring for her, but it was also an honor. She was a blessing to the entire family

I recently leased my Bossier land North of PD within the bonus price range mentioned in earlier posts after becoming convinced HS petered out south of me and after reviewing past drilling activity. Most of the activity in that area was in the 1980s, almost 280 completed wells in T23N for instance, with around 60 still in production! Haynesville Sand, Cotton Valley, Pettet Lime, and other zones all produced at one time or another. The larger percentage have been oil but some are gas. None are big producers, a few bbl or a few thousand cfe per day. Serveral others are shown as being reworked an/or injected. The OG was willing to exclude the Haynesville Shale from my lease to get the deal done. I was very willing to exclude it to get on with any exploitation of the other zones!

One of those T23N wells still producing is my grandfather's(we're recent heirs). It 'spudded' in 1981(whatever that means).
What does excluding the Haynesville shale from a lease mean?
Thanks.

Found our well , it's Cotton Valley, Reservoir A, SUA, name. Plain Dealing Field.
Wondering what the SUA means?

Our well is Active/Producing, 11K depth.
All others except one other active/producing in group are either abandoned/plugged, dry/plugged, or permit expired.
Trying to learn the info is taxing, but sooo interesting.
Thanks for everyone's expertise.

That's great that you were able to run title yourself. Unfortunately, I need to go back 50-60 years. I'm not able to get to the courthouse, to spend time attempting to do a title search myself, and title companies in the area won't take the job; so we will have to hire someone to do it for us.

I have found out that a different section & township can hold a property for life.

Which is one reason why we might want to have a title run on the acreage we recently became heirs to. We simply do not know what's been happening.

animallover, just curious: Did you get an attorney or a title company to run title?
If it's OK to ask, approx. how much did it cost? I'm considering doing this on some property.
