If Mother has enough assets to pay her own way in the facility for at least five years, hey, no problem, she can do what she wants with her property.

If she might need to apply for Medicaid within the next five years, then giving away a valuable asset, or selling it for significantly less than the market value, will cause a penalty and she will not get Medicaid help for a certain period of time, based on the value of what was given away.

What is your mother's status with regard to needing financial assistance in the facility?

No. The basic rules for Medicaid are set at the federal level.
