Just to be clear.....the five year lookback is not with Medicare. It is with Medicaid. If you need for your care in a nursing home, etc. to be paid for by Medicaid because you have exhausted your own assets, they have a five year lookback to any money you have given away. It seems you have a significant amount of money at stake here. You should seek advice from an elder law attorney to help you understand the way all of these things work.
