Why Choose An Irrevocable Medicaid Annuity Trust?
The advantage of any irrevocable trust in Medicaid planning is that, unlike a revocable trust, the assets are not considered by Medicaid as countable in determining eligibility for assistance. Irrevocable trusts, including Medicaid annuity trusts, can be established for the benefit of the Medicaid applicant using his or her own assets or established for a child or other family member who is a Medicaid recipient. The assets remaining in the trust will be paid to the individual's heirs upon his or her death.
Once assets have been counted, any further disqualifying excess assets are able to be placed into the irrevocable Medicaid annuity trust to ensure benefits continue.
