How Do You Transfer Assets Into a Trust?
Creating a trust is only the first step. To ensure your estate plan works as intended, your assets must be properly transferred into the trust. Real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, and retirement accounts each have different rules for ownership and beneficiary designations. Proper trust funding helps ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can help your loved ones avoid unnecessary complications in the future.

Should You Give Your House to Your Children to Qualify for Medicaid?
Many people believe that transferring their home to their children is the best way to qualify for Medicaid. However, doing so can result in significant capital gains taxes, loss of control over your property, and unexpected risks if your child’s personal circumstances change. Proper Medicaid planning can help protect your home while avoiding costly mistakes.

Could a Gift Cost You Medicaid Eligibility?
Many families don’t realize that gifts made within five years of applying for Medicaid can affect eligibility for nursing home benefits. Understanding New York’s 5-year look-back rule can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your ability to qualify for long-term care when you need it most.
