We sold both my parents home and our home to buy a home with a mother in law attached. The home is titled in my wife and my name. We took care of my father until he passed and now for the past 2 years been taking care of my mother. If she needs to enter into a assisted living or nursing home will there be a Lien on our house ? We thought we would be covered with caregiver and sadly never looked or planned this out. Just wanted to take care of them. Now concerned about 5 year look back.
Consult with an elder law attorney.
If you used Moms proceeds from the sale of her house to help pay for ur new home, then Medicaid "may" consider that a gift. Especially if done within the 5 yr look back. But, every state is different as is every situation. Consult a lawyer for peace of mind.
