There is a way in which Mom can give the house to the child caregiver without penalty under the Medicaid rules. There is no rule that says the caregiver is entitled to own the home unless there is a caregiver agreement in place.

Depending on the facts you may be able to make a claim for your services after your Mom's death.

If that child lived with mother, then that child could make a custodial caregiver's claim under certain circumstances. Feel free to call me to discuss. I won't charge for the phone call.
