479 NAC 6-002.06F2a(2)(a)

If the former ward or responsible relative is unable to liquidate the property in six calendar months, the service area administrator may authorize an additional three calendar months. In determining whether to allow a three-calendar-month extension, the service area administrator must consider:

1. If the property has been placed on the market;

2. If the former ward or responsible relative is asking a fair price for the property;

3. If the asking price has been reduced;

4. If the former ward or responsible relative understands the requirement for liquidation of the property;

5. If the former ward or responsible relative has not refused a reasonable offer to purchase; and

6. The economic conditions in the area and if real estate is selling.

Before the three-month extension ends, if the former ward or responsible relative has exhausted all possibilities for selling the property but it is not sold, the worker must submit all information regarding the property and its salability on Form ASD-17 to Protection and Safety, Central Office, to determine if the resource is available, in accordance with the guidelines previously listed.
