Elder Law Topic Tuesday: Alzheimer's Legal Survival Guide by Esther Wang, Elder Law Attorney Part 1 of a 3-Part Series for the month of October. We will finish this series on week 4 with a case illustration by Jason Oei, our law firm's Senior Associate Attorney. Alzheimer's disease leads to a number of life adjustments, including the need to make a wide range of decisions that pose possible legal consequences. This guide explains the major legal issues you may face over time and suggest ways to deal with them. Beginning with the first legal steps you should take, the guide gives information about long range financial planning, safe driving, health care services an government benefits, and the process of Medicaid/Medi-Cal planning and division of assets. As you examine the contents of the guide, please keep in mind that each situation is unique. No single plan fits everyone. You're not likely to need every type of legal advice descried here. And this guide in not intended as a substitute for a legal advisor. To ensure that you comply with the law and, at the same time, protect assets for your family, you'll want to get an overall legal review of your particular circumstances. FIRST LEGAL STEPS When the diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease, fin out as much as you can about the disease. Then, plan for the future. While the disease is in its early stages, you may be able to complete important documents that will give you peace of mind and save you and your family money. It's critical that you authorize another person (e.g., a spouse, adult child or close friend) to make decisions for you. And you should take this step now, while you're still able, so that you, and not a judge, can select the person best suited to carry out your wishes. As a "first legal step" it's important to seek help from an attorney to put 3 documents in place: 1. DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY: this document grants legal rights and powers to another. Choose someone you implicitly trust, such as your spouse of adult child, to act as your agent (sometimes call your attorney-in-fact.) If you become incapacitated, a durable power of attorney allows your agent to act for you in financial and business matters. 2. DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS: With this document, if you can't make health care decisions yourself, another person of your choice can make broad range of decisions for you. These decisions cover virtually everything to do with medical matters, such as selecting doctors, hospitals, treatments, procedures or medications. 3. HEALTH CARE TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (LIVING WILL): This document concerns whether or not life support should be withdrawn in the case of a patient who is terminally ill. It states your wishes regarding this issue. Without these powers of attorney, you may need a court-appointed conservator to handle financial matters and a conservator to handle health care ones. In that event, a court would control your personal and financial life. A judge would have to approve your decisions and expenses. This situation can easily be avoided if you act now and put proper powers of attorney in place. It is very important that you do not rely upon "canned" powers of attorney sold in bookstores or via the internet. While may of those powers of attorneys are well-drafted and may be adequate for some purposes, they are almost always inadequate for governmental benefit planning like VA benefit planning or Medicaid/Medi-Cal. For example, if you are trying to protect your assets from devastating nursing home cases and wish to apply for Medi-Cal nursing home benefits, your power of attorney must be durable and must contain very specific language regarding self-dealings and Medi-Cal planning. If not, the planning done under the invalid power of attorney would also be invalid, which can lead to denial of benefits and estate recovery of your assets by the state. Therefore, it is important to see an attorney knowledgeable in Medicaid/Medi-Cal and governmental benefit planning to discuss your specific situation. We will see you all next week for Part 2 as we begin discussing planning ahead and more legal steps to surviving Alzheimer's. Our law firm is very effective and compassionate with the individuals and their families diagnosed with this disease. We have helped thousands of families since we opened in 2007 and consider it a privilege to have been their law firm of choice. We see our law firm as a resource first. Our consultations are free!

Elder Law Topic Tuesday by Jason Oei, Senior Associate Attorney Avoiding a Common Capacity Pitfall One issue that I have noticed recently has to deal with the transfer of real property by an elderly person. The basic scenario is as follows: 1. Parent, usually as a form of inexpensive estate planning (and inevitably without the advice of a qualified estate planning attorney), decides to transfer their ownership interest in a piece of real property to their child or children by way of a Quitclaim deed. Sometimes they may also add the child/children as owners on the property. These types of deeds are generally not insured by title insurance. 2. Subsequently, the child either sells the property or re-finances an existing mortgage. This triggers a title search, and the title company starts asking about the Quitclaim deed that was executed by the parent. The title company asks for proof that the parent had capacity at the time they transferred the property to the child(ren). The question I am usually asked is why the title company is asking for the additional information. Because the title company is going to issue a title insurance policy, they want to make sure that the chain of title is as clean as possible. Unfortunately, there are many cases of real estate fraud and far too many of them involve taking advantage of the elderly. Thus, the title company wants proof from the current owner that the current owner obtained their ownership interest in the property in the proper manner and that there was no fraud involved. As you can see, this can cause a real problem. For example, what if the transfer occurred several years ago? What if the parent had mild cognitive impairment at the time of the transfer, but still had sufficient mental capacity? What if the parent had no cognitive impairment at the time of the transfer but now has severe cognitive impairment? The best way to avoid this complication would be for the parent to consult an estate planning attorney and establish a comprehensive estate plan. Not only will the family avoid the issues with title, but they may also be able to take advantage of some tax savings if the planning is done properly. A good estate planning attorney will be able to advise the parent on issues relating to capacity during the consultation process. If you or anyone you know is struggling with a situation like Jason described, please contact us or refer them our way. We provide FREE consultations via Zoom or over the phone.

WED, OCT 28 - OCT 30 Coffee with Esther

Elder Law Topic Tuesday: Mental Capacity. Early Planning is Essential by Jason Oei Early planning is key when faced with declining mental capacity One issue that is fundamental to estate planning is the capacity of the prospective client. Because we are an Elder Law firm, this issue comes up much more frequently. Many of the initial inquiries from the spouse or adult children of prospective clients discuss that their loved one has either declining capacity or an actual diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's. The fact that they are seeking advice now is great because there is a window of opportunity to properly establish an estate plan. However, many other people do not seek help soon enough and at that point the only option available may be to do a conservatorship so that someone has decision making authority during the lifetime of the capacity impaired individual. Naturally, if there are not already beneficiary designations on accounts or if any real property is not already owned in joint tenancy, the estate of the capacity impaired individual could be subject to a probate. In speaking with these clients, I have found that one reason that they waited until it was too late to establish an estate plan was because they thought that the fact that there was a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's or any other condition that could result in diminished capacity automatically would result in being unable to establish an estate plan. This is actually not true. In California, there is a presumption that all persons "have the capacity to make decisions and be responsible for their actions." (California Probate Code section 810(a).) The same code section goes on to say that a "person who has a mental or physical disorder may still be capable of contracting, conveying, marrying, making medical decisions, executing wills or trusts, and performing other actions." (California Probate Code section 810(b).) Thus, even though an individual may have a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's, it is not necessarily too late to consult an attorney to discuss an estate plan. We offer FREE consultations virtually or telephonically at this time. Please call our law firm to schedule yours today. 909-888-7100.

Elder Law Topic Tuesday: Alzheimer's Legal Survival Guide by Esther Wang, Elder Law Attorney Part 3 of our 3-Part Series for the month of October. We will finish this series on week 4 with a case illustration by Jason Oei, our law firm's Senior Associate Attorney. Continuing on with the life care planning issues you and your family may want to discuss with an attorney: REVISING WILLS AND TRUSTS Whenever a major life event occurs, attorneys recommend that you review your wills and trusts. Your current legal documents may no longer be appropriate. Laws may have changed or you may want to make changes that reflect your new circumstances. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is a major life event worthy of this kind of legal review. SAFE DRIVING If you have Alzheimer's disease, you may someday be faced with a recommendation that you restrict your driving privileges. Your doctor may write a prescription that says, " Do not drive." Or, family members may begin to notice effects the disease has on your memory, judgement and attention - effects you are unaware of. Those mental abilities are critical for driving. If you have recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, you might not have a problem with driving for a while. At some point, however, you may begin to notice that you lose your way, misjudge the speed of oncoming traffic or fail to notice stop signs or other signals. You may be driving legally - that is you have a valid driver's license, but you might not be driving responsibly. The last think you'd want is to cause an accident. And, liability for one could cause legal problems and financial burdens for you and your family. The independence that driving affords isn't easy to give up. Some people event feel lowered self-esteem when they can no longer drive. We have all grown up in a culture where driving is important to us. And, no one wants to be a burden on others for transportation. So, it's common for Alzheimer's patients not to admit difficulty behind the wheel. However, people with Alzheimer's disease and their families and doctors have a responsibility to balance patients' convenience and safety of other drivers and their passengers. Studies have found that, particularly in later stages of Alzheimer's disease, you are twice as likely to cause or be involved in motor vehicle accidents as drivers of the same age without the condition. Recently published American Psychiatric Association (APA) guidelines for restricting driving privileges of patients with Alzheimer's disease say that all severely impaired Alzheimer's patients pose unacceptable risks on the road. So do people with moderate impairment who cannot cook or perform simple household tasks. In early stages of the disease, some people can drive safely for as long as two or three years after diagnosis. Others, however, cannot drive even short distances without endangering themselves or others. Discuss this issue openly with your family members and doctor. Trust them to tell you when to turn over your car keys. CONTINUING CARE As Alzheimer's disease progresses, the care you need increases. In the early stages, you may be able to continue living independently at home or with help from family members or home health aides. Other possibilities include adult day care or respite care. With adult day care, you are in a supervised program during the day, then return home at night. Respite care programs provide substitute caregivers to temporarily relieve family members or others who usually help you with daily activities. Another possibility is the need for a nursing home. That's because Alzheimer's disease is the leading diagnosis requiring nursing home admission. You and your family should be aware of the following legal issues concerning the continuing care of an Alzheimer's patient: 1. Conservatorship 2. Legal rights of a nursing home resident (discussed in Part 2 - last Tuesday's Elder Law Topic Tuesday for your referencing). MEDICAID/MEDI-CAL PLANNING & DIVISION OF ASSETS Medicaid/Medi-Cal, a federally funded program administered by the states, pays some health care costs (assistance with bathing, light housekeeping, cooking and laundry) while an eligible patient remains at home, as well as, nursing home costs for qualified individuals. Medicaid is called Medi-Cal in California. As such, Medicaid and Medi-Cal mean the same thing in California. You may not want to think about using Medicaid/Medi-Cal benefits. But, most families are financially unprepared to pay for health care costs for an Alzheimer's patient. Over a patient's lifetime, those cost average $174,000. Even if you enter a nursing home as a "private pay" resident (paying your own way), you may eventually exhaust personal funds and need Medicaid/Medi-Cal assistance. And, event if you can manage the costs, you may worry about depleting your assets and impoverishing your family. You may share the frequently expressed fear among potential Medicaid/Medi-Cal applicants, "I'm afraid I'm going to lose everything." However, with legal assistance and proper Medicaid/Medi-Cal planning, you can typically save at least half - and frequently all - of your assets. The earlier you plan, the more assets you will be able to protect. Medicaid/Medi-Cal planning uses legal strategies to maximize the amount of money your family can keep for their care while qualifying you for government benefits. Consult an estate planning and elder law attorney to help you with this planning process. It's like asking a certified public accountant (CPA) to prepare your income tax forms to be sure that you are taking all legal deductions the tax code makes available. Don't apply for benefits before making sure you've taken all steps possible to protect yourself and your family. MEDICAID/MEDI-CAL APPLICATION AND DIVISION OF ASSETS Applying for Medicaid/Medi-Cal is a complicated process. You may need legal assistance to be sure you complete forms accurately and completely. Incomplete forms and other errors can delay or jeopardize benefit payments. Married couples go through a process called division of assets. An elder law attorney can help you list and review your assets and income sources in terms of what you can't keep (and how to convert them into exempt assets so that you can keep them), and what's at risk. While you are expected to pay as much as you can toward the cost of your care, Medicaid/Medi-Cal law does not require your spouse to live in poverty while you live in a nursing home. Division of assets, in general, means dividing your assets and your spouse's assets in half after deducting exempt assets from the total. Your spouse keeps his or her half (up to a maximum of approximately $128,640 in 2020), but you, must "spend down" your half until your assets total no more than $2,000. (Single applicants must meet the same low limits on countable assets to qualify for Medicaid/Medi-Cal.) Exempt assets (those you can keep without affecting Medicaid/Medi-Cal eligibility) include your residence, one motor vehicle, furniture and household belongings, personal jewelry and clothing, prepaid funeral plans, and whole life insurance with a death benefit of $1,500 or less. Non-exempt assets (assets that do affect Medicaid/Medi-Cal eligibility) include checking and savings accounts, and stocks, bonds and mutual funds. You should consult an attorney experienced in Medicaid/Medi-Cal matters before giving away money or property to family members or others. Transferring assets during a "look back" period of thirty months prior to an application can create periods of ineligibility for benefits. In California in 2020 (new figures are usually updated in March of each year), you'll be ineligible for benefits for one month for approximately every $10,298 you give away. Your individual situation affects decisions about how to accomplish the division of assets. You or your spouse can "spend down" your half of the assets to: 1. Pay nursing home bills 2. Pay off outstanding debit (like credit card bills) 3. Prepay an outstanding mortgage, property taxes and estimated income or capital gains taxes 4. Make home repairs or buy household furnishings 5. Prepay funeral expenses 6. Buy clothing 7. Travel 8. Pay legal and medical bills 9. Buy an annuity (Consult an attorney before purchasing an annuity to be sure you're complying with recent changes in the law.) IMPORTANT NOTE Be sure to map out your spend-down plan in advance and coordinate it with your Medicaid/Medi-Cal application before you move into a nursing home. The community spouse (the spouse who lives at home) can often increase substantially the amount available to him or her by working with an advisor skilled in this area. Additional rules exist concerning income for you and your spouse. Generally, your spouse may keep his or her income. However, your income, except for about $35 per month, must go to the nursing home for your care. If your spouse's needs exceed his or her income, some or all of your income may be used to make up the difference. But, proper planning and knowledge of applicable rules are important to guarantee compliance with the law.

Elder Law Topic Tuesday: Alzheimer's Legal Survival Guide by Esther Wang, Elder Law Attorney Part 2 of a 3-Part Series for the month of October. We will finish this series on week 4 with a case illustration by Jason Oei, our law firm's Senior Associate Attorney. PLANNING AHEAD When the diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease, the ability to manage your own affairs will decrease over time. Making adequate, informed decisions about your personal business and your health care will become more difficult. But, early legal planning lets you choose a person to manage these things for you, according to your wishes. You can control, in advance the way your affairs will be handled. However, if you don't plan early, a court may eventually appoint a conservator to make these decisions for you. Such a proceeding is far more expensive than planning ahead. Act while you have the capacity to indicate your wishes and to understand an design documents that ensure your wishes will be respected and carried out. Depending on your specific situation, a host of legal issues related to your condition may arise. After you execute a durable power of attorney, a durable power of attorney for health care decisions, and a health care treatment directive (living will), consider other legal planning. Simply stated, life care planning helps you understand how to position your resources to best serve your needs and those of persons dear to you. This kind of planning is highly individualized. Some of the issues you and your family may want to discuss with an attorney, include: REVISING WILLS AND TRUSTS Whenever a major life event occurs, attorneys recommend that your review your wills and trusts. Your current legal documents may no longer be appropriate. Laws may have changed or you may want to make changes that reflect your new circumstances. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is a major life event worthy of this kind of legal review. CHANGING PROPERTY TITLES The way real estate and other property is titled is important. In some cases, how your property is held means that selling it will require court intervention. Reviewing property titles is also an important part of planning to ensure that you and your family members are protected if you ever need long term care in a nursing home. STRATEGIES FOR FINANCIAL OR OTHER GIFTS Consulting a knowledgeable attorney is especially important before you transfer any property or make gifts. The attorney can help you review your financial situation to determine whether a gifting program or other financial strategy is appropriate for you situation. Making gifts can protect your family and help save your estate. But, acting improperly can have severe legal implications, and even make you ineligible for government benefits. LONG TERM CARE STRATEGIES Now is the time to consider what changes in living arrangements you might need over time. Those arrangements can include independent living, assisted living, an assisted living/nursing home combination for you and your spouse, or nursing home placement. Check provisions of any long term care insurance you have in effect. (If you don't already have this kind of coverage, you probably won't be able to qualify for it once you've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Still, it may be an option for your spouse.) You'll want to review this and other possible strategies with your legal advisor. VA BENEFIT PLANNING If your or your spouse is a wartime veteran, you may be eligible to receive up to $2200 per month from the VA to help pay for assisted living or home caregiver costs. In order to qualify to receive this special pension benefit, you must be financially and medically eligible. Even if you are not currently qualified to receive benefit, a VA Accredited Attorney can help you to qualify for the benefit. This special pension, along with your existing income, will help you to pay for the care you need in an assisted living facility or to pay for the home caregiver that you hire, or even your own child or relative who takes care of you on a regular basis. LEGAL RIGHTS OF A NURSING HOME RESIDENT Each nursing home resident has a right to personal and appropriate care, which is guided by the resident's care plan. The care plan is a contract created by a "team", that includes you, the nursing home staff and anyone else you want to involve. The plan should detail your current medical, psychological and social needs and spell out what will be done to maintain or, when possible, improve your health. Because the care plan creates a contract, getting legal assistance with this document is advisable. SEEKING LEGAL HELP When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, family members face unique legal issues, including asset distribution, property disposition, Social Security, durable power of attorney, establishing conservatorship, etc. CONSERVATOR FOR HEALTH CARE AND CONSERVATOR FOR ESTATE By the time you need nursing home care, if ever, you'll likely be unable to make decisions about financial matters or health care. If you have not executed a durable power of attorney and a durable power of attorney for health care decisions, you'll need a court appointed a conservator for health care and a conservator for the estate to handle your finance. The conservator for the estate will manage your financial business, while the conservator for health care will make personal and medical decisions for you. You can have one person who act as both conservator for the estate and conservator for health care. This concludes Part 2 of our 3 Part Series. Next week, we will finish the other issues to discuss with your attorney. The keys to memory loss are to be proactive with your estate planning. We can help.
