Mother owns nothing...she lives in my extra home and I care for her and pay for all her needs. She is a medicaid patient and therefore is not allowed to own anything.

If I am not mistaken every state has its own rules. If the person that is "willing" the money to your mother to change will if possible, if not I THINK Medicaid would TAKE all of the funds from her to re-pay what it has spent on her. Not sure, but I think that is how it works. I would not mention this to Medicaid until you have spoken to an Elder Law Attorney. There are several on this site and hopefully they will answer for you.
