"Later when you are in hospital with a lot of tubes poking out here and there, quickly buy a very expensive house with your family as part owners "

Very true greaser. Remember we don't have gift taxes,............ yet. Just haven't checked to see if ther are some timelines, between the date of the gift(s) and your actual departure date. Another useful tool here would be a Living Power of Attorney, just in case you can't find your marbles. Gotta check those timelines.
