Mom's Attorney told us that we needed to pay each sibling a gift of about $10,000 of Mom's money. I do not understand why and if that happens wouldn't we have to pay taxes on it? I am on Medicare/Medi Cal because I am disabled and if I get that, I think I will lose my Medi Cal coverage won't I?
Follow jeannegibbs advice about the Medi Cal. Find out if there is a way that you could get some benefit from the gift by spending it on eligible expenses.
