They are in the state of Illinois. Their home is in a trust and the value of the home is approx $125,000 or less. They have about $5,000 cash and another $5,000 in a stock. My REAL question is.....as far as the MERP issue, is it to our advantage to draw on that $50,000 before they go to a nursing home?
My mother is in a NH, in Shelbyville, IL.
