Legal Answers
59 Questions Answered
- Q. Medicaid implications of renting room to a parent with Medicare
- A: Medicaid Estate Recovery can only claim what your mother has in her name at the time of her death. They will not have any claim on your house because she pays you rent.
- Q. Can I change trust assets to POD accounts and which takes precedence: trust or PODs?
- A: I suggest you discuss this with an estate planning attorney. I am assuming your trust is revocable. If your savings accounts, house, and CDs are titled in your trust, then they will each need to be retitled, and then a TOD beneficiary assigned. If those things are titled in the trust, the trust takes precedence, and a TOD is pointless. If they are not in the trust, why aren't they? Your trust can do all that a TOD can do and more. Before changing your entire estate plan, you should discuss it with someone who can point out the pros and cons.
- Q. What form is needed to transfer a house deed from deceased parents to me without probate?
- A: Probate can only be avoided if your parents had recorded a Transfer on Death deed or affidavit. If they did not, you have to go to probate. Depending on the time since your parents died and the local rules of the county probate court, you or your brother may be able to do a Transfer of Real Estate Only. This would entail applying to admit the Will to probate and then filing the appropriate forms to transfer the real estate. This is only possible if there are no other probate assets, the sale of the property isn't needed to pay debts, and there is no Medicaid claim.
