Leaving a Legacy is important to your clients at Death…
Here is what happened to Grandma
Did her Estate Planning in 2001
Financial Planner Family Attorney
Neither of them talked to her about Long Term Care Issues or how to protect assets back in 2001. The Attorney prepared a WILL for her and the Financial planner tried to sell her stock. Instead, she bought an annuity.
Grandma’s wish was to make sure this $50,000 CD at the bank went to her Granddaughters. These were discretionary funds
that she had designated with a POD to her granddaughters
Granddaughter – Susan Granddaughter – MegAge – 21 (college senior) Age 24 (professional model)
Grandma thought the Bank CD with a POD on it would protect it from the nursing home. WRONG. The POD only allows the CD holder to name a beneficiary to avoid probate.
Grandma wanted to help both of them to pay off college loans from the CD
Grandma entered the nursing home on September 18, 2007 with the following assets;Grandma did not own a home.
Checking - $ 29,600.00Savings - $ 49,000.00Annuity - $ 21,450.00CD - $ 92,000.00CD - $ 50,000.00 *granddaughters PODCD - $ 34,800.00Stock - $ 18,230.00
Total - $ 292,080.00
Cost of Nursing Home was $6,985.00 monthly or $ 83,820.00 Annually.
After 3 ½ years, her money was gone and she was applying for Medicaid with $2000 remaining.
Her $50,000 CD for the granddaughters was also Gone.
93% of Your Seniors are Potential Clients for the Estate Trust
With Nursing Homes at a monthly cost of $7000 or
more monthly. Assets could be depleted in a short period of time.
Grandma had a CD at the Bank that she had designated to her two granddaughters.However, this money was still in her name and will be spent on Private Pay basis at
the nursing home. She must spend down to $2000 to be eligible for Medicaid.
Now in 2007Grandma enters a nursing home
• By the end of 2010 her money is gone• She applies for Medicaid with less than
$1,600.00 in her checking account
Grandma did her estate planning back in 2001 with her Financial Planner and Attorney.
When Grandma died in January of 2012, there was only $1,254.00 left in her
checking account.
Her Family also had to Raise $ 8,000 for a Funeral Too. She didn’t do a funeral trust
Planning that would of solved these issues…What a Big Difference planning makes!
Funeral Trust$ 10,000
Medicaid Exempt Estate Trust$50,000
IIf Grandma would of planned this back in 2001 when doing her estate planning with her attorney and Financial Planner what a difference it would have made.
This Trust would have paid for her entire Funeral without the Family having to Pay for It.
Funeral Trusts ARE MEDICAID EXEMPT!
These funds would have been worth approximately $59,000 at her death. Since this trust should have been established back in 2001, these funds would be Medicaid exempt when she applied for Medicaid. It was past the 5 year look back on Estate Trusts.
When Grandma Applied for Medicaid
Estate Trust$50,000
Established Sept. 10th, 2001Medicaid Caseworker
Any Asset Given away 5 years or longer is Exempt
Irrevocable Funeral
Trusts are always Exempt
Grandma is Approved for Medicaid while keeping the Funeral Trust for Burial and the $50,000 Estate Trust passes to her (2) granddaughters.
The Estate Trust is now worth $ 59,500

Trustee
Protected from the Medicaid Spend-down after 60 months of issue.
Funds should be discretionary
Grandma had $297,000 in cash and an income of $1,950.00 per month.
Taking the $50,000 CD and placing it in an Estate Trust made sense since these funds were designated to her two daughers.
She still would have had $ $247,000, plus a good monthly income that was more than enough.
The Estate Trust is a Great Way to Help your clients protect assets by planning in advance.
Suggest to Your Senior Clients that they Plan with the Funeral & Estate
Trusts. It should be part of their Plan.
