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.

What is New Jerseys definition of majority rule concerning a will with 3 executrixs if 1 executrix is holding up the procedings.

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The Power of Attorney is no longer valid and really doesn't bear any weight.  I have had this issue before.  I am of the opinion that there is no "majority rule" when it comes to the Executors because all of them need to sign off on things.  For example, if you were selling property, and one executor did not agree and would not sign the deed, then I do not believe that clear title would be passed.  If there is a disagreement among the three, then proper thing to do is to go to court and either seek to have the one executor removed, or if they just refuse to sign, get a court order indicating that the two remaining executors are authorized to sign on behalf of all three.

Is there a type of will in which I can add items to later without having to rewrite the whole will. IE jewlery,lenox and such

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
All of those items should be included in a memorandum that can be included with the Will document. That would allow you to add or delete from the memo without changing the Will. You should not list personal items like that in the Will.
