Most people don't know that if you have a home and some financial assets etc.., you should have a TRUST to avoid probate! For example, if you have a home worth about $500-750K or so, the PROBATE fees for the home alone with be between $26-36K or so and that doesn't even count the other financial assets and the value of personal property etc.

The documents that should come with a TRUST PACKAGE would be as follows:

1. Trust
2. Pour Over Will
3. Power of Attorney for Finances
4. Power of Attorney for Health Care
5. Trust Deed
6. Other related trust documents and instructions etc.

If you don't have a trust and related documents and you have a home, call my office to schedule a FREE 1/2 consultation to discuss what you and your spouse need (or for yourself if you are single or widowed) to avoid both probate and conservatorship for you and your loved ones.

My office number is 916-412-7656. Leave a message if we are out and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Have a good day!

Don't forget to create and fund a trust for CA citizens, as a trust will a) allow you and your loved ones to avoid probate and b) if you applied for Medi-Cal benefits, the STATE OF CA will not attach your trust assets for benefits you received from Medi-Cal, like long-term care benefits etc.

Call my office at 916-536-1773 for a FREE consultation regarding a trust package for a single person or for a couple...to start planning for your trust now, before it's too late (www.sololaw.net).

IMPORTANT...Medi-Cal will be making some big changes to their asset/income rules for those who are in are may go into a nursing home in 2026!

There is MORE flexibility...IF...you do your Medi-Cal asset protection planning...BEFORE...January 1, 2026, as the current rules are more flexible than the rules that go into effect January 1, 2026.

That being said, there is still a lot you can do to protect your assets and income (for couples) starting on January 1, 2026...but...the rules will be changing to the strategy will be a little different than in the past 2-3 years or so.

If you are on Medi-Cal now and you have MORE than $135,000 for a single person and $195,000 for couples...you should talk to an Elder Law Attorney to determine how to protect the amounts OVER that, as it may result in a denial of Medi-Cal long-term care benefits when you "reapply" for the benefit in 2026!!!

Call my office if you need some assistance with Medi-Cal and Asset Protection at 916-536-1773 and leave a message if we are out oof the office (www.sololaw.net).
