Do I need a trust if I have only one child?

The assets you place in the Legacy Trust will become exempt from the Medicaid spend down requirements after a 5 year look back period. What is the 5 Year Look-Back? During the five years before applying for Medicaid a person cannot give away assets to become eligible for benefits.

Do you need a trust with one child?

Yes. There should always be a will (or Trust). If you only have one child/beneficiary, and if you trust that person, I HIGHLY recommend making all accounts TOD or POD. This bypasses probate, and beneficiaries trump wills/trusts. Same for any insur

What does Dave Ramsey say about trusts?

A will is not mandatory even if you have one adult child, but it helps specify asset distribution after death. A power of attorney grants legal authority to your child to manage financial or medical decisions while you are alive but incapacitated.

Is there a reason not to have a trust?

Trusts offer amazing benefits, but they also come with potential downsides like loss of control, limited access to assets, costs, and recordkeeping difficulties.
