I suggest that you contact financial planner Don Wallace in Sarasota at (941) 870-0070 or his son, an elderlaw attorney in Plantation at (954) 236-0492 (www.floridaelderlaw.com). I believe both can help your loved one with the planning issues that are common before entering a nursing facility.

Good luck.

First-There are many qualified Pinellas County elder law firms that can help you. Your homestead property is exempt and does not have to be sold and can not be taken from you or your friend. It further does not have to be sold and the look back period does not come into play on a homestead property.
