Hi there-
Planning ahead for my mom and figured I could get some insight here.
My mom will be 81 in February and I would describe her as someone who is in "okay" health.
As we know health can deteriorate sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly does it make sense to move her assets ( all liquid now) into one or more of her kids accounts?
The logic being that if she ever has to go into a nursing home or even assisted living that all her money won't evaporate and she can just have Medicaid pay for it?
Any thoughts or concrete knowledge on this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
