Q: How Can You Protect Your Assets When Entering A Nursing Home?
A: Nursing homes can use legal processes to lay hold of your assets in order to cover the costs of your care, if needed. By creating an irrevocable trust, and transferring all or a significant portion of your wealth to that trust, you can move it out of reach of anyone who would seek to claim it. This is because, once you transfer your assets to the trust, you no longer legally own or control them.
An estate planning attorney can help with getting your trust set up, and most importantly getting your trust funded.
