She wanted to pass at least $50,000 to grandchildren at death. • Her monthly income was $2,432 and her expenses were $1423.00 • We advised Mildred to do an “Estate Trust” with $50,000 naming her grandchildren as beneficiaries. • After 60 months this trust would be exempt from the nursing home and avoid probate. • For some reason this planning was never completed. • In January 3rd, 2007 – Mildred entered the nursing home with the • $100,000.00 in the bank – Nursing home costs - $6900 monthly. • July 8th, 2009 – Mildred’s estate is at $1800.00 and she applies for Medicaid. On July 8th, 2009 – Mildred applied for Medicaid because her assets were down to $1800.00. If she would have done the “Estate Trust”. She would have saved $50,000 for her grandchildren and she would still be on Medicaid Today. PLANNING WITH THE ESTATE TRUST COULD OF SAVED $50,000 – LEAVING A LEGACY TO HER GRANDCHILDREN
