What can we do to keep from paying all her money to the nursing home?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Unfortunately you are probably too late do to anything..Medicade has a 5 year (60 month) lookback so if you try shielding her assets now they will come after you for the assets back.. There may be other sources of $$ to recoup some of it.. such as if she was a veteran (there is a program that may get you a small amount) HOWEVER If you suspect that she will be in the home for more than 5 years... contact an appropriate estate planning attorney immediately! While she may have to pay the first 5 years, you might be able to shield any assets over $300K (5 yrs x 12 x $5200= $312K).

Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
A signed will takes precedence over an unsigned will in Nebraska unless the signed will can be proved to be fraudulent or the terms contained therein are invalid or unlawful for some reason. In that case, the decedent would be considered intestate (no will exists at the time of death) and state statutes would determine who is entitled to the assets of the estate.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Under NY law you are unable to disinherit a spouse. They are entitled to a statutory share. There are techniques to accomplish your goals but they require some extra planning steps and the consent of your spouse.
