There are a number of issues raised by your question. A transfer of your mother's home to certain types of trusts could result in the loss of potential Medicaid benefits that could pay for her nursing home care, or potentially even assisted living care. You should contact an experienced elder law attorney to determine the most appropriate action to take to avoid potential loss of benefits.
