The "5-year trust rule," or Medicaid 5-Year Lookback Period, is a regulation where assets transferred into an irrevocable trust (like an Asset Protection Trust) must remain there for five years before the individual can qualify for Medicaid long-term care, preventing asset depletion for eligibility.

It's a key tool in elder law for protecting assets for heirs while planning for future care needs.
