If the family member buys it for less than fair market value or within three years of the person's death, Medicaid or Medicare can seek reimbursement. Also, there are the proceeds of the sale to be considered. The diseased person should consult directly with an estate planning attorney in their area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.
Good luck
