Can a nursing home take your house if it is in a revocable trust?
This depends on the type of trust. Assets in a revocable trust are not protected from nursing home expenses because you retain control over them [1.1.1]. However, placing assets into an irrevocable Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) can shield them, provided the transfer occurs at least five years before applying for Medicaid [1.1.1]. In an irrevocable trust, you lose control and ownership of the assets to the beneficiaries, which makes them exempt from the Medicaid qualification process [1.1.1].
