Medicaid Planning
The laws governing estate planning, trusts, Medicaid and other governmental benefits are very complex. You should consult an experienced elder law attorney about your unique situation to obtain legal advice. Do-it-yourself Medicaid planning is not advised. Medicaid rules are so complex that many attorneys refuse to offer advice to folks about them.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
This information has been provided to you for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Attend a FREE Estate Planning Workshop and recieve a FREE consultation with an elder law attorney at the Van Deysen Law Office, PLLC.
Wills
Trusts
The next item to consider should be how to protect cash, bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, etc. Although you could transfer these items to a child or add a child as a joint owner on the account, you give up all or part of your rights to these assets. Another option is to transfer these assets to an Irrevocable Trust created for your benefit. An Irrevocable Trust is a legal agreement created by you to hold your property and assets for your benefit. It is managed by a Trustee. The Trustee’s job is to manage your money and pay the income earned on it to you. Your Trustee could be your child, sibling, financial advisor, accountant or bank. A Medicaid compliant trust is Irrevocable, which means it cannot be canceled once it is created. With a Medicaid compliant Irrevocable Trust, you will retain the right to receive the income earned on the assets you put into the trust, but the principal deposited into the Trust is protected if you need nursing home care five years down the road. However, to get this protection, you must agree to let the principal stay in the trust. Therefore, you should only put assets in this type of trust that you won’t need to use to pay for living expenses.
Power of Attorney
Planning for incapacity is important. What if you were suddenly unable to make financial and healthcare decisions due to a brain injury, dementia, stroke, coma, etc.? You have the power to sign legal documents appointing someone to make financial and healthcare decisions for you under a power of attorney in case you become incapacitated. A general durable power of attorney is used to give someone the power to make financial decisions for you and to have access to your financial assets. A medical power of attorney is used to give someone the power to make healthcare decisions for you. Without these documents, it may be necessary for someone to bring formal court proceedings to become your guardian or conservator if you are unable to make financial and healthcare decisions due to a brain injury, dementia, stroke, coma, etc.
