What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
My Father is 95 and was still living alone in his home until hostipalized a couple weeks ago and then moved to a local Nursing Home. I'm pretty sure he will be staying there the rest of his life.
My question is: He says he has about $50K left in the bank and a small home worth maybe $100K. He has always been generious with his money and given his 7 children gifts of money periodically of several thousand $ each. He has asked me if he can still give us money for Christmas or if he now needs to keep what's left for the Nursing Home. I assume he can still give some away but how much legally without the risk us children will be asked to return the gifts of money if he ends up living there several years?
