What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
We are currently trying to place my father in a nursing home. He has been living with us for 23 months and my sister for 4 months before that. Prior to him moving out of his house we had him and my mother transfer the house to us for protection, but my mom died after the transfer and dad is failing with Alzheimer's disease far too quickly. They both had life lease also. (It was transferred in late February of 2006. I know the law had changed on 2/1/09.) He could no longer live alone, so we sold the house while it was in our name. Each Sibling has a share of the money from the house. Is the money protected? Can Medicaid still come after us for the principal from the house? Can we spend the money? What can we do?
Best Regards,
acd
