If my parents have a home equity loan of $50k. Is it to our advantage to draw that money out before a NH?

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?

I would think do not use the home equity loan unless it is paying for their care until Medicaid kicks in. See an elder law attorney that specializes in Medicaid planning.

Here is my uneducated advice. $50,000 will not last 2 people long, in a NH. Maybe they should just pay it back.

My mother is in a NH, in Shelbyville, IL.

The only suggestion I have is to talk to an Elder Law attorney about what is required by Medicaid for your parents State.
