This may be a very complicated situation because of the possible effects. The IRS can consider the transfer to be a sale that you have to report capital gains tax on, the house and lot will be reassessed, the medical providers can claim a fraudulent transfer, etc. You need to obtain more detailed legal advice based upon relating all the particular facts of your situation.

I agree. What you are proposing is a real bad idea.
