<prompt> Human: My mother has been diagnosed with cancer but is expected to make a full recovery though the process has just begun. Due to issues with her employer over the past few years they no longer offer her insurance and cut her hours to part time. She has been squeezing by while looking for another job but only managed to secure a very minimal policy. Her worry is due to the amount of bills she will acquire they may eventually put a lean on her home which she owns. She mentioned gifting the home to me I purchased my first home 3 years ago to avoid that happening. Im not sure the best way to go about this, the risks associated, the legality or if this is even a good idea.  <response>: Gifting the house to you is probably not going to work that well. The problem is that Medicaid can do a look back, usually within the last 5 years, to see if youve done any asset transfer like gifting a house.You could pay for your mom to consult with an estate lawyer to explain this to her.FYI its lien not lean
