My mother is 93 this month and we want to set up a special needs trust for my sister who is mentally disabled. Does the five year look back apply to a special needs trust if she applies for Medicaid assistance? Thank you.
Kind regards,
Yes, the five-year lookback will apply. However, there are exceptions that can be made for transfers to or for the benefit of disabled children. If you would like to discuss this matter, please contact me directly via email (rcoleman@thecolemanlawfirm.com) or telephonically during normal business hours (904) 448-1969.
