My dad has Parkinson's disease and other health problems . He's coherent but has trouble walking and little speach slur. Anyway my parents made a living will years ago make my sister and I the responsible ones for taking care of things if things happened. out of 5 kids. Well things are rapidly happening and he might be forced to goto a nursing home within 3 months.. I want to know what we should do to prevent the nursing home from taking their lifes saving and assets. they own 2 homes and my mom would not need to be in a home she still works part time at a school lunch room couple hours a day at 74 years old. so i don't want them to take everything from her. Not least our inheritance after both past away.

The question is whether he's on medicaid or not and if he is going to be. If he's on medicaid or you expect the public to pick up the tab for his treatment and care, you had better have had his assets transferred more than five years ago or they're at risk.
