Q. Is legal assistance needed for filing as executor of uncomplicated estate in Ohio?

May 15, 2025

A: It is possible for an Executor to handle the estate on their own; many counties have descriptive information available on their websites and staff in some counties will answer questions. However, I have had clients who tried to do it themselves and then realized they needed help and called me.

Q. Medicaid implications of renting room to a parent with Medicare

April 15, 2025

A: Medicaid Estate Recovery can only claim what your mother has in her name at the time of her death. They will not have any claim on your house because she pays you rent.

Q. Can I change trust assets to POD accounts and which takes precedence: trust or PODs?

April 9, 2025

A: I suggest you discuss this with an estate planning attorney. I am assuming your trust is revocable. If your savings accounts, house, and CDs are titled in your trust, then they will each need to be retitled, and then a TOD beneficiary assigned. If those things are titled in the trust, the trust takes precedence, and a TOD is pointless. If they are not in the trust, why aren't they? Your trust can do all that a TOD can do and more. Before changing your entire estate plan, you should discuss it with someone who can point out the pros and cons.
