Re: Transfer or sale of property to reaitive

As far as medicaid is concerned there is a 3 year lookback period. In otherwords, if she transfered the house and went into a nursing home within 3 years, they could take the home to off set the medicaid. In any event I would transfer the property now so that the lookback period can start.

Good luck
