Setting Up Special Needs Trust

Summary

Review your Durable Power of Attorney to ensure it allows trust creation and Medicaid planning. If it does, you can likely proceed as Attorney-in-Fact to set up a Special Needs Trust to protect your moms home from Medicaid estate recovery. Consulting with an estate planning or elder law attorney is advisable for further guidance.

No but thank you. Yes it has everything initial and specific allowance to emphasize my bathroom her behalf. She needs to apply for Medicaid asap and the Medicaid planner we were going to hire asked us to file a quit claim deed on her home which after doing research I discovered was highly unadvisable and that a 3rd party SNT was appropriate
It sounds like you're on the right track by considering a third-party Special Needs Trust (SNT) to protect your mom's home from Medicaid estate recovery. Since you have the Durable Power of Attorney granting the necessary powers, you can likely proceed as Attorney-in-Fact. However, it's always wise to consult with an attorney specializing in estate planning or elder law to ensure everything is in order. If you change your mind about connecting with local lawyers, just let me know!
