Learn MoreWhat is an Irrevocable Funeral Trust?
One tool for those looking to spend down their assets in order to apply for Medicaid benefits is the Irrevocable Funeral Trust (“IFT”).

Importantly, funds in an IFT are not considered to be part of a person’s estate for purposes of Medicaid qualification. A recent article discusses the basics of the IFT.
Importantly, an IFT should not be used by just anyone. High net-worth individuals who will not require Medicaid assistance, for example, would not use an IFT because they likely have sufficient funds or insurance policies that will cover medical expenses.
