@brianwillson3693 1 second ago Given up at birth and adopted at 2 yrs old and again at age 8 yrs old in a different state.Then after 35 years me & my 2 little sisters who us 3 were adopted in 1973 .My 2 nieces kept our 86 year old mothers whereabouts hidden from us 3 kids to moms death .Then they did not make gifts of my mothers property and did not create a special needs trust for me like the attorney-in-fact was authorized to do .Here in Oklahoma City when your on SSI you can find "no legal representation" anywhere in Oklahoma City.
Does the Medicaid Assest Protection Trust have to be set up prior to signing up for Medicaid?
What about Medicare
How can I get on this zoom & ebook from you please?
I understand there are tax implications depending up on how people are listed, ie Grantor, Trustor, Trustee, etc. What is proper way to designate the trust in the documents? ???Family Trust, ???Grantor, ???Trustee and on and on. Does each type of listing create issues to the parties tax wise? All assuming the Trustee has to sign and execute documents.
You attorney's over emphasize the issues from second marriage couples. Its simple if the Surviving spouse accepts the first deceased spouses testamentary gift then this locks the Surviving spouse in the same legal binding contractual obligation that the first deceased spouse was forced to fulfill. Time after Time after Time what would you say as being in this professional legal profession happenes very shortly after the first deceased spouse passes away. WOW IM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED. YOUR CORRECT: The surviving spouse before the ink can dry upon their deceased spouses death certificate they HOP SKIP AND JUMP right into the nearest Wills Estate and Trust law firm to do what WOW AGAIN IM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED The surviving spouse drafts up a new will revoking ALL of the Promises which were made to the Deceased Spouse that upon the Surviving spouses death that they will divide everything equally. NO WHAT HAPPENS IS FROM ALL OF THE CASE LAW THAT IS FILED UPON WHAT KIDS FROM THE BLENDED FAMILY ALWAYS GET DISINHERITED. SIR YOU DESERVE THE GOLD MEDAL OF THE YEAR EXACTLY ITS THE BIOLOGICAL LINEAL HEIR CHILDREN OF THE SURVIVING SPOUSE THAT GETS DISINHERITED. Case after Case after Case the Step Children always receive the combined estate assets and property and the Biological Lineal Heir Children of the Surviving Spouse end up with NOTHING . WOW how does that happen. GONG ON THE GONG SHOW. Challenge: Send me one fiked case law that shows that 1st the Surviving Spouse changed their will PRIOR to the death of the First deceased spouse 2nd That after the first deceased spouse passed away the surviving spouse goes and drafts a new will leaving the step children everything. Rest my Opinion
I own a home with my Mother do I need to do a TOD or a Lady Bird Deed to shelter from Medicaid
This old man says it comes out of the taxpayers pocket so we take care of mom and pops at home paying the sibling who puts their life on hold a fair amount to maintain two home fronts. And Hire graduates from schools like Empire College school of Law who advanced their careers to Fiduciary Security Allied Legal Advisors.
Has anyone ever used one of these that worked without a DIY forger or counterfeiter stealing it?
Thank you for this video...I haved learned so much! I need help with a situation that I am currently being faced with unfortunately. I am a healthy 58y/o who has fallen in love with a 69 y/o who has been recently dx with Parkinson's disease stage 1. He is very active and disciplined with his diet and is wanting for us to be married sooner rather than later. I own several homes and other properties and am concerned about my 3 children's inheritance as well as my potential loss of retirement funds for myself and also for my future husband. I am considering setting up a MAPT now before marriage. What would happen if I set one up now and 6 months down the road get married and if he were to become ill? 1. Would medicaid look and consider my mapt and look back period for His care? 2. Would I have to use my investments/401k, 403b for the spend down? We are all going to end up with some kind of diagnosis sooner or later but this is something that we do know about now and I feel like we should prepare for especially since we are aware of it. Please help me with any advise you can offer.....Thank you!
oh, I live in the state of North Carolina
On October 26,1982 i was in a severe auto pedestrian accident at age 17 years old a senior in high school in Oklahoma City.Taken to one hospital and later transferred to another hospital where i awoke out of a coma.My injuries were a closed head injury,pelvis,coccyx, displacement ,shattered left hip & femur,internal bleeding,dislocated left arm,coma... Many years later my 86 year old mother signed a Revocable Trust & in the General Durable Power of Attorney under 3.22 Power with Respect to Create Additional Trusts my mother authorized the attorney-in-fact to make gifts of her property & my mother authorized the attorney-in-fact to create an irrevocable trust and/or a special needs trust or trusts.My niece the attorney-in-fact sold my parents 2-1/2 homestead acreage of 62 years & going on 16 years there has no special needs trust ever created.Note after proofreading this trust last March 2023 is when i came across this information.Im on SSI and am the oldest son and the only person in my entire family who is disabled.However I cannot find or afford legal representation anywhere.Help please.
Thank you BUT I cannot understand the speech because of the music. Is this smart?
Good information. Would a MAPT work in Texas? How can I obtain a copy of your e-book?
Can I receive your ebook in Alabama Please! Thank you head of time!!
I retired from law over 5 years ago. Most of this advice you can just Google and download the paperwork.. He just wants your money and gives very little advice. Save your money- after all the fees you're paying him/firm over $10k, save your money and go on a nice vacation instead.

The music obscures the speech, making this video very hard to listen to
After finding your webpage through an internet search, I watched your video and found it to be informative, easy to understand, and excellent in quality. Thank you for sharing such a valuable resource. i will be in connect with law firm soon in Middletown NY*
I am certain that this is probably a good video if I could actually hear the content over the foreground music.
It is better to have a plan than have no plan at all.
Outstanding most detailed outline of MAPTs, how's and why's, and the real Trust one needs before poor health comes knocking at the door. Thank you!! This should be taught to the general public, maybe even starting in high school and college. Definitely at the community level. Medicare, Medicaid, and Probate laws keep people poor or cause too many family problems because of health care costs or money. That should not be something to worry about in life or death .

Monthly funds from pensions; social security; interest; dividends; RMDs; and annuity payments exceed Long Term Care. Does Medicaid have a right to claw back these monies to pay for care?
From what I understand, SS & Pensions are resources & not considered income. So they are not included in Trusts & will not be impacted for Medicaid. Interest, dividends & RMDs are considered income and will be used for your care.
What happens ?? Why i put this video on infinite loop and let your soft silky voice loll me to sleep of course 😴
Terrific presentation. I wish you had an office in New Jersey.
Yes, I have an ear revocable and my husband died in July 28 but now they’re staying in an accident that we put a claim on with her lawyer he saying it’s got to go to probate I didn’t think of irreversible trust had to go to probate what is the answer?
Sounds great, but what is the cost breakdown for this ?
I'm trying to figure out if a home can be protected from medicaid for my aunt. She had a horrible accident at home and has irreversible brain damage and needs to go to facility skilled nursing care. Dementia She only has her home and social security. It is so complicated to me. It's hard to know. I did get attorney/ conservator and the appointment will be in place Jan 5. She lived alone and no mortgage Her brother in law ( from her deseased husband) I feel should be able to get the house when she passes. Anyway, need her in 24/7 care now and she has no mental capacity to care for herself. The conservator/ guardian should be getting the medicaid for her care. I'm so nervous and stressed. We live in Alabama
As a single person, the house is considered & must be sold to pay for her care... So sorry 😢
Does Medicaid demand repayment with Medicaid trusts like it does with first-party special needs trusts?
Your legacy will be one of utter and flagrant disrespect and pissing on the "elderly" ! 😡 I pray to GOD that everyone sees your money grab values whatever one calls it
Excellent informational video.

Your marketing strategy is straight up genius ! Advertising on metv and antenna tv for example the Walton's, archie bunkers place, hazel, mash, my Three Sons shows for people who have one foot on a banana peel who better to warn that they best prepare to die 👍😄 hey out there well return to the Walton's in a moment but firs I want to ask are you prepared for the end ? Do you have all your affairs tied up ? You never know when your time comes you need the expertise of the people at ettinger law offices with branches all throughput dutchess. And putnam coúnties WHAT GENIUS !! 😳 MAN ! YOU KNOW how and where to market sheer genius !! And I often said I want to do business with the people who have the foresight to remind me I'm gonna die, and judging by my choice of programming I don't likely have all that much time left ! 😕 Think about that for a moment people ! That why you need the experience of the ppl at ettinger law.....class 👍😕 I'm impressed ! Thats how you make the big money right ? Target audience is the key phrase amirite ! ⚖️
