Re: Indiana Medicaid , Inheritance

I am sorry but you have written a very confusing set of facts. If the person on Medicaid has not received money from this trust before he dies, then it is not his property. If it is property, too late to make changes. They need to take the trust agreements to an attorney. As I said, it is unclear that the person getting Medicaid has any property interest in the trusts.
