I think my mom's will was an entirely separate deal. The only thing was that she had to make a "trust" for the care of my father so it didn't look like she was disowning him. Which looks like fraud to the medicaid people. It might be different for you guys because of just having one person. I think you can do a blind irrevocable trust or some such.

Is it bad that I have never probated my moms will properly? We opened the case and allowed for people to make claims but after the year where no one did... I just never closed the case. The court did... but legally it is still open. Me and my sister were the only beneficiaries so we took out stuff and never closed the case.

I hope that won't get me some day.
