Guardianship: Providing for an Incapacitated Adult
When someone becomes incapacitated and failed to put the proper estate planning documents into place, a family member cannot simply take over that persons finances or decide where that person should live. Due to the important civil liberty concerns involved, a guardianship proceeding must be brought. Our attorney Britt Burner sheds light on this special proceeding and the different roles played by the judge, petitioner, court evaluator, interested parties, and court appointed attorney.
Diving Deep into the Medicaid Asset Protection Trust
Britt Burner, Esq. discusses the Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts and how they help people qualify for chronic and community long-term medicaid.
Tailor-Made Wills
What specific clauses do you need in your Will? Britt Burner discusses specific clauses that you may want to include in your Last Will & Testament, such as children’s pot trust, specific bequests, beneficiary trusts, pet trust, power of appointment, disclaimer bypass planning, charitable donations and more!
Understanding Trusts: The Revocable Trust
A revocable trust, also called an inter vivos trust, is a trust created during the grantor's lifetime which dictates how assets are to be distributed during the grantor's lifetime and upon the grantor's death. Learn the basics of the revocable trust, including the role of the grantor, trustee, and beneficiary, and scenarios where such a trust could benefit you.
Income Eligibility for Medicaid: Pooled Trust
Attorney Britt Burner explains how a Pooled Income Trust works in conjunction with Community Medicaid. If you are considering "Aging in Place" and how to pay for long term care, it is crucial you understand your options. A Pooled Income Trust allows you to meet the income eligibility requirements and, at the same time, retain the income to pay bills.
Basic Estate Planning 101
Jennifer Leff Senior Director for MusiCares invited BLG's Britt Burner to do a webinar on basic estate planning. Britt discusses advanced directives, wills and the difference between probate and administration proceedings.
Medicare and Medicaid: How Do They Work Together?
Medicaid and Medicare are both government programs that provide health coverage. Medicare is available for people over 65 yo or who have a disability, regardless of income level. Medicaid coverage has strict income eligibility guidelines. How they overlap and what each covers can be confusing. Britt Burner breaks down Medicare and long-term Medicaid programs available in New York.
2ND TIME AROUND: ESTATE PLANNING FOR BLENDED FAMILIES
Britt Burner, Esq. discusses how to structure your estate planning to fit your particular circumstance when you have children from a previous marriage. Many people are surprised by how their assets would be allocated upon their death - if they do not have a will. Is it your wish to leave assets to both your spouse and children from a prior marriage?
Duties of an Executor & Administrator
Most people know the rudimentariness of a Will and that the nominated executor is tasked with administering the estate. But do you know what duties are entailed and the steps involved? Britt Burner, Esq. discusses the duties of the administrator of an estate (when there is no will) and executor of a will.
Duties of a Trustee
Britt Burner of Burner Law Group discusses the duties of a trustee. A trustee is a fiduciary who administers the assets placed into a trust, either for the benefit of the trustee or a third party. The duties depend on the trust instrument and the type of trust, such as irrevocable, revocable or special needs trust. Whether you have a appointed someone as a trustee or you yourself are a trustee, it is important to know the duties involved.
Why Covid 19 has made Advanced Directives crucial in estate planning.
As attorneys, we have found that COVID-19 and the accompanying shutdown has reshaped some of our beliefs and approaches to estate planning. This is no time to panic, but it is an opportunity to learn from the upheavals brought on by the virus and examine how they change the way we counsel our clients as they create or amend their plans. How Covid-19 has made advance directives and the durable power of attorney crucial documents for people of all ages.
