Should you REVOKE your
COMMUNITY PROPERTY AGREEMENT?
Many of my clients who are in their late 60’s or older are revoking
their Community Property Agreements and using a Testamentary Special
Needs Trust to protect their assets from being wiped out if their
surviving spouse needs nursing home care.
This is especially true of my clients who cannot qualify for long term
care insurance.
A testamentary special needs trust is a very powerful Medicaid planning
technique but you can only do it while your spouse is alive and you are
competent.
If you are at this point in your life you should review your estate
planning with an attorney who specializes in Medicaid. |
Elizabeth A. Perry has been helping Clark County residents with their estate
planning and probate needs since 1976. She is a frequent seminar speaker.
Her practice emphasizes probate, Medicaid issues, wills, trusts, incapacity
issues, durable powers of attorney and guardianships. Phone: (360) 816-2485
