#EstatePlanning #Medicaid
Looking into what I need to do to make sure my significant other will be able to live in my house if I die before him. We are both disabled, and getting married could cause me to lose my Medicaid benefits. The funny thing is, neither of us mind the idea of Medicaid getting everything after we are both gone. We have no children, and I always thought about placing my house in a trust for a non-profit agency. But honestly, I think Medicaid helps more people than most non-profits. I am enrolled in IRIS, a long-term care program that is part of Medicaid’s Community Waiver in Wisconsin, and estate recovery is what I am concerned with. It looks like if I name my significant other in my will and get his name added to the deed, that should do the trick in our situation. Anyone else going through this? Is there anything someone can recommend?
