Product Description
Product Description
An elder couple engages you for estate planning advice; one month later they call to say that one spouse had a stroke, is hospitalized, and is likely to need long term nursing home care. A single person with ALS and significant retirement assets who is likely to need nursing home care in the near future calls to ask about planning. Are you prepared to skillfully advise these clients?
If you are new to MassHealth (Medicaid) planning or you are an estate planning attorney who has clients with MassHealth planning questions, this program is for you. Learn about last-minute planning with annuities, and when to refer cases. The program introduces you to the complex world of single premium annuities (SPIA’s), the types of annuities to consider to help your clients obtain MassHealth eligibility, and annuitizing qualified (retirement) funds. Let the experts inform you about MassHealth rules and issues encountered in using annuities for MassHealth planning!
