Dear XXXXXXXXXXX - If you are talking about Medicaid there is a five year lookback period so if you transferred the property today it would be five years before it would be free from attachment to pay medical bills. Of course if your grandmother has other assets those could also be affected. This is a rather simple explanation to what can be a complicated problem so you may want to consult with a financial planner before you just start transferring assets.
