Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's story is a sad reminder of the importance of keeping your estate plan updated. He reportedly lost $12 million to estate taxes because his plan wasn’t up to date. Here's what went wrong: 👉Outdated Plan: His trust didn't include his daughters born after its creation. 👉No Marital Deduction: He wasn't married, so assets couldn't be passed tax-free to his partner. You can avoid the same mistakes by regularly reviewing your estate plan, taking advantage of trusts, and speaking to an estate planning lawyer who can help you minimize your estate taxes and protect your loved ones. Don't let your legacy get lost in probate court or to the tax! Ready to update your plan or get started? Visit our website by clicking "𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲" below to schedule a consultation today.

FAQs

Are some assets "exempt" for Medicaid purposes?

Yes. Among other things, a home, a car, personal effects and clothing, and a modest amount of life insurance are usually considered exempt, meaning they do not count toward the Medicaid resource limitations. Medicaid is one of the few state or federal programs which provide assistance with nursing home expenses. Given the high cost of nursing home care, Medicaid is the only practical way to pay for nursing home care for many people.

What is a trust?

In a few words, a trust is a legal arrangement in which a person or firm (the trustee) manages money or property for the benefit of another person (the beneficiary).

For whom is a Special Needs Trust appropriate?

A Special Needs Trust is appropriate for a disabled person who receives means tested public benefits (usually SSI, Medicaid, VA benefits, housing subsidies, or other benefits), or who inherits money, or who receives a settlement or a gift.

Are there limitations on how money in a Special Needs Trust can be spent?

Yes. It stands to reason that if the funds in the trust were as easily available as they would be in a bank account there would be little reason the assets in the trust would not also disqualify the disabled person. For this reason, there are limitations on the purposes for which the funds in the trust can be spent; in general, the trust assets cannot be spent for food and shelter or other needs public benefits in general are intended to provide. Since cash disqualifies many disabled persons from their benefit programs, Special Needs Trusts usually pay expenses for disabled persons and do not distribute cash to the disabled person.

Do trustees of Special Needs Trusts need any special help?

Yes. The legal rules applicable to special needs trusts are often very complex, and the advice of an attorney familiar with SSI, Medicaid, and other means tested public benefit programs is often essential to prevent distributions from inadvertently disqualifying the disabled person from such public benefit programs.
