I have a few questions, specifically how this protects against surrendering property to Medicaid in the event a nursing home situation arises…

1. My parents (still living independently) put their property in an enhanced life estate deed six years ago so I assume any “five-year look back” is satisfied. Please advise is not.

2a. Assuming number 1 is satisfies, if they sell their home and purchase a new home, would putting it in another enhanced life estate deed grandfather the five-year Medicaid look back or does the clock start over?

2b. Can there be an acceptable amount of time between the sale and new purchase to keep the look back in tact or must it be seamless?
