⚖️  Law

In California, my client had a joint tenancy with her mother-in-law who passed away. The Department of Health Care Services, Recovery Section, sent my client a letter stating that she owes the balance of her medical services ($50,000) under the Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code Section 14009.5 and Title 22, CCR.
