What type of attorney is this? An elder law attorney? This is who you should be asking this question. Does this attorney practice in NY state? You need to discuss Medicaid impact with an elder law attorney first.

Is there a possibility that your father will need Medicaid-funded long-term care in the next five years? If so, he would be penalized for gifting you this money now.
