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.
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.
Consult with an elder law attorney.
