Missouri. Was told by a home health nurse, if my mom were to not be able to care for herself and they visit and declare such. They put her in a nursing home and she loses all her property. Is this true? She has will and living health stuff too. I am very confused. The home health nurse said she should not have anything in her name. Is this true? Doesn't sound right.  |

| | | Who do you think will pay for her care if she has ASSETS? Her neighbors, the tax payers?
Her own assets will be exhausted 1st while alive, and a will means nothing until you die, then after you die the estate will first pay any outstanding debt or liens. |

If the assets have been out of her name for more than 5 years before she applies for medicaid, then it was likely a legal transfer.
