Re: irrevokeable trust
This is very difficult today, with recent changes in Medicaid qualification laws. There may be other things that can be done, including a trust, but with the recent changes in the law, there would be no guaranty that whatever was done could not be contested. You should consult with a specialist in Elder Law, familiar with the new rules.
