Andreoli http://www.andreolilaw.com/?p=952 Life Estates are no longer an effective tool to preserve your home from Medicaid. Due to a recent change in the law, Medicaid now has the power to recover part of the value of your home upon your death if you have a life estate. If a life estate was used in your planning to protect the value of your home, then your plan must be reviewed and maybe changed to avoid having New York State to be able to recover a portion of the value of the life estate. There are still effective alternative ways to keep your assets safe from Medicaid Recovery, but you should act now.

If you or a loved one finds themselves in this unfortunate predicament, then stay tuned to the site for further information or call us for a complimentary consultation about your situation.

Andreoli http://www.andreolilaw.com/?p=743 Both Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts can be very useful, but each has unique properties that should be used in particular circumstances to meet the Creator of the Trust’s goals.  For example, a Revocable Trust is generally used for estate planning and has similar information to a person’s Will. Also, a person may get a Revocable Trust in order to avoid probate because probate can be a long and costly process. Avoiding probate can make it difficult for someone to contest the Trust; such as a child you want to disinherit. Revocable Trusts can also contain language that will preserve a person’s estate tax exemption which allows more money to pass to their beneficiaries without adverse tax consequences.

If you wish to learn more about Trusts, think about attending this seminar on October 19th.  Seminar Info
