<prompt> Human: My mom is on Medicaid and owns her own house. She would like to move in with us. We plan on adding a bathroom and a bedroom on the first floor of our house for her. She will most likely be selling her house. My brother currently lives with her and will not be moving in with us but be getting his own place or getting married. What is the best way to legally handle the assets of the sale of my moms home? Its probably worth about 250k.She has 6 children of which I am 1. She would be okay gifting the money to her children and sons and daughters in-lawbut we dont want to do anything illegal or make her ineligible for Medicaid. Shes recently been diagnosed with cancer. Its treatable but will still likely be costly. Were in Minnesota.  <response>: If shes truly on Medicaid and not Medicare, that sale of the house may trigger an event that makes her no longer qualified to be on Medicaid, as you are limited in the amount of assets you can have. Some states have a homestead exemption which means you can live in the house and the house doesnt count, but once you sell the house and have a cash asset, it counts against the assets you can own.
