Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Re: trusts

It would require knowing more about your father's situation and your parents' assets to be able to advise. I suggest you consult with an attorney or estate planner.

Re: trusts

I agree with Ms. Patete, estate planning is a very individualized process and it is very hard to give an answer without knowing all the facts. Many attorneys will give free initial consulations.

Make sure you consult an attorney who not only knows estate planning but also can help you with medicaid planning.

Re: trusts

I agree with Ms. Patete and Ms. Schmitz. Without knowing more detail it is not possible to give a worthwhile response. I will tell you that it is likely a trust is not a viable option at this stage. It is not necessarily true that your parents will have to exhaust all their assets, but planning is required. Please speak to an attorney. In all likelihood, speaking to an attorney will save you more than it will cost you.
