Confused? Many people mistakenly think they can alter who gets their retirement savings or insurance payouts through their will. 🚫 But guess what? Only the beneficiary designations on these assets determine their distribution, no matter what your will says! 💡 Want more control over how and when these assets are distributed? Consider a trust! It’s a powerful tool to manage contingencies and avoid lump-sum distributions.

Are you or a loved one receiving Medicaid benefits? It’s important to be aware of the Estate Recovery Program and what it means for your assets. In Texas, this program allows Medicaid to recover costs by targeting certain assets after a beneficiary's passing: 🏠 Home: Medicaid can place a lien on your property, potentially affecting inheritance. 💰 Bank Accounts: Cash in checking and savings accounts may be pursued. 📈 Trust Funds: Any remaining funds in specific trusts could be subject to recovery. 💳 Funeral Trusts: Even funds in irrevocable funeral trusts might be considered. 🚗 Valuable Items: Vehicles and other valuable personal property can be at risk.
