I am 66 years old and I live in Florida. I am considering loaning my niece, who is also one of my beneficiaries, $30,000. I would prefer to gift her this amount (using the $28,000 husband/wife gift tax exclusion), but I am worried about Medicaid's look-back period of five years. If I set this loan up as an interest-only loan and stipulate that the loan is forgiven upon my death, would this count as a gift for Medicaid purposes?
