3 Let’s take a Look at the Funeral Trust And How to Sell It.

4 Medicaid Eligibility Rules Some states may vary on these Medicaid eligibility rules Single person Assets - $ 2000.00 – May vary from state to state. Next page has all states. Life Policy - $1500.00 Car - $ 4500.00 Personal possessions Wedding rings Funeral trust Income - $ 45.00 Spousal Impoverishment Rules for married couples Assets - $50,000 – 109,560.00 Life Policy - $ 1,500.00 Car – Unlimited Value Home - $ 500,000 Equity Personal Possessions Funeral Trust for both spouses Income - $2739.00 Monthly *some states may vary on the $1500 life insurance exemption. Let’s take a look at each state on the next slide.

5 SINCE ONLY $1500.00 IS EXEMPT FOR LIFE INSURANCE…THIS IS AN ISSUE Medicaid says only a $1500.00 life insurance policy is exempt. Any policy over that amount in cash values is a countable asset and would have to be spent down for Medicaid Eligibility. Example: $10,000.00 Policy – (Paid Up) 9,850.00 Cash Value SOLUTION: 1035 Exchange to Funeral Trust. (Tax Free) – Now it is Protected. Some states may vary on Medicaid Rules, please consult an Elder Law Attorney in your state. Most Seniors who have Paid Up Life Insurance intend to use it to pay the funeral home when they die.

6 Many states are facing financial budget deficits and you could find all states going down to the $1500 limit. Therefore, the funeral trust makes common sense in all states. This chart subject to change. Look for your state
