Most Seniors who have Paid Up Life Insurance intend to use it to pay the funeral home when they die.
• 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.

Look for your state
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.
