Tax in Elder Law—Tax Considerations for Elder Law Attorneys
Melinda Merk
A discussion of various planning considerations and how to avoid potential pitfalls with regard to income tax and estate/gift/generation-skipping transfer tax issues that elder law attorneys may encounter in their practice.
Real Estate—Protecting the House When Applying for Medicaid
Jennifer D. Kahl
In middle class America, it’s common for a person’s home to be his most valuable asset. Losing that home to the cost of long-term care can be heartbreaking. But when attempting to “save” the house, elder law attorneys must proceed with care: tampering with the title to real property may have unintended consequences impacting the client’s estate and tax plans. In this session, we review a variety of strategies to protect the house while maximizing eligibility for Medicaid, along with discussing how to mitigate possible negative impacts to other areas of planning. We also discuss various planning considerations and how to avoid potential pitfalls with regard to income tax and estate/gift/generation-skipping transfer tax issues that elder law attorneys may encounter in their practice.
