Sec. 7. The office may bring proceedings in foreclosure on a lien arising under this chapter:
(1) during the lifetime of the Medicaid recipient if the Medicaid recipient or a person acting on behalf of the Medicaid recipient sells the property; or
(2) upon the death of the Medicaid recipient.
The lien automatically expires unless the office commences a foreclosure action not later than two (2) years after the Medicaid recipient's death.
