Iowa...Grandmother is asking me to find solutions to her problem. Grandfather is becoming increasingly unmanageable for her. She is worried that he will have to be placed in a home, thus eating away most or all of her assets. We are currently searching for ideas to help hide her assets. We have come up with gifting her 401k for family members at a rate of 13,000 per person per year, which we have discussed giving back to her immediately to be placed into a safe or safe deposit box or some other secure place to avoid taxation. Also we have discussed selling her home, placing that money into an bank account, and having her draw lump sums of less than 10,000 a number of times and claiming this money as gambling loss or some other loss. I'm aware that this is likely unethical, possibly illegal, hence my search for counsel. I want to make it clear that I stand nothing to gain from this as her grandchild, as I have been ridiculed on other sites as being greedy and nosey and so on. I am simply looking for good ideas that may help her salvage her life's savings. All advice, or ideas are welcome.
