She may meed to come up with the $50K if she disposes of all her assets in less than five years and needs to apply for Medicaid.
The life estate sounds a bit odd, especially if it is not for a partner or an adult dependent taking care of your aunt on a near/FT basis. And i agree about not wanting to subsidize your aunt in order to preserve this inheritance for this couple. DH has a situation with his parents - they balk at spending money and he explains that he will be there to help them if it comes to that. His primary motivation is: why should he cover his parent expenses in order to preserve an inheritance for his sister who was a spendthrift in her younger years while he lived within his means.
GL and get going!
^^ if his parents exhaust their funds, he has made it clear to them that he will step in.
