How can we protect our moms property from tne medicaid 5 year lookback?

Review it with a local NC lawyer, but there is little you can do if she needs to apply for medicaid in the next 5 years. You can transfer things out of her name, but if the transfers were not for consideration (i.e. instead of selling her home for fair market value and putting the money in her checking accoun, you transfer it to a child for no money), it could make her ineligible when she applies for medicaid. Plan now with an elder law attorney .
