Uhm, we have healthcare in Canada, as far as I know fees in Manitoba are based on your income not your assets and according to AI fees average around $3K per month. I can think of no reason to remove her name from the title and I doubt it could be legally done.

Most of us reside in the US. This cannot be done here in this kind of situation. First, with ALZ she can't sign the house over to him. Second, we have Medicaid here that helps pay for Longterm care. If a house is turned over within the 5 year look back (Medicaid requires when applying) that would be considered trying to hide assets and there would be penalties making it hard to get LTC for a while.

Since our health systems are do different, you need to talk to a lawyer.
