There are a number of potential issues as play here and I would strongly suggest you consult with an experienced probate or elder law attorney. There is an interplay of taxation issues, potential medicare/medicaid, marital property and other issues. Making the "wrong" choice could cause substantial financial consequences that may be avoided with some inexpensive front end planning.
