Re: medicaid & conservatorship
You need to find a good Elder law attorney. Do not volunteer information to Medicaid. On the other hand do not make fraudulent conveyances of your mother's property and assets. Yes, normally under Medicaid your mother's assets must be turned over to the feds. However there may be some planning you can still do.
