The Impact of Medicaid on Real Estate Ownership and Transfer

Area: Castle Rock, Colorado
Date: Wednesday, February 08, 2012
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Douglas Elbert Realtor Association
Address: 840 Kinner Street
Castle Rock, CO 80109

Description

Elizabeth D. Mitchell from Ambler & Keenan, LLC will review the rules for qualifying for long-term care Medicaid—a program that will pay for the cost of nursing home, assisted living, and limited home health care for seniors.  Many professionals are unaware that if their clients are transferring property to a family member, or selling property to pay for the expense of nursing home care, it may actually prevent Medicaid qualification and asset protection.  This course is designed to provide real estate professionals with the knowledge to understand the Medicaid look-back period, the effect of giving away property or adding joint owners to property, estate recovery, and other key Medicaid concepts.  If you work with seniors or have had any issues with clients selling property to pay for the cost of a nursing home, this course approved for two hours of CE credit  for realtors, will explain the Medicaid rules and provide useful tools so that you can help your clients.

Changing Landscape of Estate Planning for Digital Assets

Time: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Location: Virginia Village Library
Address: 1500 S. Dahlia St.
Denver, CO  80222

Description

What will happen with your client’s digital assets when they die?  What about the Facebook account, digitally stored pictures, ancestory.com, online accounts, etc.?  It used to be that when a person died, they would wait for the mail to come in to see where the assets were, but in this digital age, clients need to plan for how to direct their family to their assets, as well as figure out how ownership of those accounts will impact their family.  This is an important class for everyone so that they can advise clients about how to inform their clients about accessing online accounts and the ownership of digital assets upon death or incapacity.  Elizabeth D. Mitchell will discuss how to advise families about these assets and how to make sure family members can access these important assets.

This presentation is a Continuing Education class, approved for one hour of CE credit for life insurance producers, CFPs and CPAs only.
