If my sister and I withdraw our thirds from a joint investment account shared with our mother, will that count in Medicaid lookback?

She is currently living with me, but a nursing home stay is realistic in the next 5 years.

It will probably depend on whose name is on the investment. If Moms and you are beneficiaries then u are only allowed the money at time of death. Medicaid will count this money to be used for her care before they pay anything.

Consult with an attorney that specializes in Elder Care issues.
