My grandparents have a will, both are currently living, but not for long. They want to transfer ownership of home and land to their two adult children, but if they do so staight across at this time, they will commit fraud as far as Medicaid is concerned. They can not transfer property in Idaho unless it is three years in advance of need. In this case, the need is within the next year. At this point, Grandfather is still alive, but will probably pass in the next few months. Grandmother wants to be able to live on the property until her death but forsees needing medicaid for some of the personal care services which they provide. Medicaid will not step in unless she is willing to transfer assets to the State, forcing her to become financially dependent on the State. She would rather have her assets go to her children. How can she accomplish this and not be frauding Medicaid?
