The Trust to establish a transfer should have you as the Trustee, be irrevoccable,gennerally Medicaid has a five year lookback. There is a protection for a caregiver, but is that the caregiver primary residence, and is the owner virtually dependent on that person care?
If any $$ is being paid to the caregiver is a contract in place, and backed up with 1099?

One more thing.Any old lawyer won`t work.Go see a "elder law attorney" One that specializes in elderly related issues.Such as a Lady Bird Deed that protects a house from Medicaid repayment.It`s not good in all states but I would think it would be good in Texas since since one time president LBJ helped get it passed in his home state of Texas.

I would go see a elder law attorney in Texas.Go directly to someone who knows the laws.Check within your community for help with senior related issues.You may be able to get some legal help for free or a low cost.

My advise to people is to look into these matters before they become a pressing issue.

Savannah,
Sometimes questions get lost on here. When I do not receive responses to my questions I am left wondering if I asked something inappropriate.

In my state a house can be deeded to a child caregiver that has lived in the home to provide medically necessary care. The home could transfer after two years after caring for mom. You can post your question to attorneys in Texas that specialize in elder law, specifically Medicaid. Check out the site
AVVO, it also includes peer and client ratings of attorneys.

I've been told the only thing that will protect the house and keep it from going into probate is a LadyBird Deed (not sure if it's the same thing as a Deed of Trust). When my father passed away, the state of Michigan started sending letters wanting to know who still lived in the house (my mother does, making it exempt from estate recovery by Medicaid).

You will definitely want to check with an attorney on this before proceeding - unless any of us here are attorneys, you'll be taking a big risk just going with our opinions. Please seek some professional legal help with this question so you don't end up with a nasty surprise.
