Will a revocable trust protect all my assets from nursing home costs?

 

Short answer:

  1. NO

.

.Here’s the scoop:

 

Revocable trusts are great for avoiding probate and for incapacity planning. But when it comes to Medicaid asset protection, you need a different option.

 

👉 If you’re trying to qualify for Medicaid and you want your assets protected, you want an IRREVOCABLE trust.
