Can We Protect Our House if My Spouse Needs Nursing Home Care?
In Pennsylvania, there may be planning options available to help protect the spouse at home and preserve important assets, including the family home. The answer depends on your timing, how the home is titled, your income, your assets, whether Medicaid may be involved, and whether any planning was done before the need for care.
The most important thing to know is this: do not transfer the house, add names to the deed, gift money, or make major financial changes without speaking with an elder law attorney first. Well-meaning decisions can create serious problems later.
