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.

Is my mom entitled to everything that used to belong to my dad, including the money he asked me to keep in my bank account?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the money in the account is in your name, then it is not part of the estate.  Ther eis something called an "account of convenience" where someone adds a name to an account to make it more convenient to write checks.  However, if the account is solely in your name, I don't see how your mother can make a claim to it.

Do I have to give money from the estate away?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
There is no concrete answer to this question. To adequately address your options you should speak with an attorney and address the timing of the POD account addition, the medical condition of the decedent and your options. We charge $100 for a one hour consultation with an attorney who will provide you with important information regarding your specific case and will able to advise you on the options that you should consider in determining your next steps, or if it involves reviewing documents and preparation in advance of the meeting, we charge $300 for the consultation, because there is over one hour of review and preparation for the meeting and one hour for the meeting.
