My mother is 83 yrs old & she did not do anything to protect her savings, etc. from being eaten up by nursing home costs. She lives in TX, can she still give up to $10K to her children per yr without that money being considered in the look bck time frame?

She can give up to $13K/year to each child, but that amount will be looked at in the 5 year look back period! Sorry! So, she needs to keep 60 months of whatever the nursing home takes monthly (eg 60 x $3000= $180,000) to get past the 5 year period, then she can gift the rest to the children. Then she will be past the 5 year look back period when she runs out of money and the State should then step in if she lives that long. -
