Medicaid does not "take" your home.  You need to be able to pay for the care that you are receiving.  If you are in a skilled nursing facilty, and are not likely to leave there, then the home is sold and the proceeds are used to pay for your care as the care is being received.  No one "takes" the home.  If your assets run out, and you still need care, then Medicaid will be available to pay for the care.  You should not worry about protecting your assets as much as you  should worry about having enough assets to provide the care you need in the setting that you want.

Can my brother sell my deceased mothers car?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It does not make him the sole heir of the vehicle.  He is entitled to be reimbursed for the payments that he made, but the remaining equity in the vehicle is an estate asset.  IF the car is sold, he should pay himself back what he paid, and then divide the remaining balance.

Can i exclude my future husband from my will as I own my house in NJ and it is in my name only and my 2 children from my previous husband. I want to l

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can exclude your future husband from your estate by doing a combination of a prenuptial agreement and a marital share waiver.  In the State of New Jersey you cannot disinherit your spouse, so if you just leave him out the will, he can claim his marital share which is one third of the augmented estate.  He cannot make that claim, however, if he has signed a waiver of that share. You can also use a prenuptial to agree that neither of you will take from the other's estate.  What you will need is his agreement or consent, and you will need to have that in writing to protect your children in the future.
