Medicaid

If 86 year old aunt deeds me her property or sells it to me and then in the near future ends up in a nursing home can medicaid take my property from me even though I bought it or she deeded it to me?

As my mother's primary caregiver, if she would have to be put in a nursing home, I live in her home. Would I lose the right to live in her home (which she owns) if she was admitted on Medicare?

I am disabled with medicaid and medicare. Can my mother give me her property without me losing my benefits?

My Mom is 80 yrs. old. He has two children , a son (me) and a daughter . Mom lives alone in her home that is paid for . She has some physical and emotional issues and my sister promised our Dad before he died she'd make sure she was taken care of . My sister and her husband owns their home with a mortgage and so do I. Mom can't afford an assisted-living and neither of our houses are conducive to her moving in mainly due to lots of stairs, etc. My sister came up with an idea that maybe they could buy Mom's house for half of the fair market value and give me my half now and then , when Mom passed my sister could sell and get her half . She and her husband would keep their house yet move in with Mom . I don't have a problem with the idea , because I told them I would not use that money anyway until Mom passes, because technically it's still her's . But since the house would be sold for well under fair market value, if Mom were to have to go into a nursing home at some point, I understand my sister could lose the house once Mom passes away if it's before five years. I just want to make sure we cover our bases before doing this . Can you help us?

In order to 'impoverish' his elderly parents, a man had convinced them to gift him and his brothers ' families some large sum of money so that when time came both his mom and dad would be able to obtain medicaid. But then , last November 2010, the elder situation changed suddenly, and all the family members had to quickly return the money. Then the elderly father passed away in November 2010 and the elderly mother with Alzheimer's was committed to a nursing home. On January 2011 that man checked his 88 years old now widowed mother out of the nursing home and brought her back to his home where she had lived for 6 years prior to going to the nursing home. He also bought some 'revocable burial plans' for himself and his family and did many other things...all this to hide their assets and to be able to have his mother qualify for medicaid. Currently he has had his old mother sign a bunch of blank checks. His old mother receives a total monthly income of $3,500 (including her deceased husband social security). So, he has also typed up a rental agreement stipulating that as of April 2011, his mother will pay him a monthly rent of $2,500 and he is planning to use her credit card to purchase his family groceries bill for $250 every week. Is it legal?
