003.07 DETERMINATION OF OWNERSHIP OF RESOURCES.

A resource appearing on record in the name of an applicant or client or responsible relative as defined in Chapter 24 or this title must be considered to belong to the applicant or client. Ownership of real estate must be verified through records in the offices of the register of deeds or county clerk. If it is substantiated the applicant or client is not the true owner of a resource, it is permissible to allow the applicant or client to remove his or her name from the title of ownership in order to reflect true ownership. The applicant or client is allowed 60 days to make this change without affecting eligibility. After the applicant or client removes his or her name from the resource, eligibility may be determined retroactively or prospectively, as applicable. If the applicant or client does not remove his or her name within 60 days, the resource is counted.
