Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts can be a valuable planning strategy to meet Medicaid’s asset limit when an applicant has excess assets. These trusts protect a Medicaid applicant’s assets from being counted for eligibility purposes. This type of trust enables someone who would otherwise be ineligible for Medicaid to become eligible and receive the care they require. Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts also protect assets for one’s children and other relatives.
