He wants to give his children a gift of $100,000 - $20,000 each, but he doesn’t want them to spend it immediately. He knows that at 3 of his 5 children would spend the money immediately if he simply gave it to them. He knows that his oldest daughter, Eliza, is responsible and will act in accordance with his wishes. So Larry creates the Wright Family Trust and names Eliza as the trustee of the trust. Larry names himself as the income beneficiary of the trust so that he will continue receiving the interest from the $100,000. He wants the principal ($100,000) to be distributed to his children after his death. Eliza goes to the bank and sets up the Wright Family Trust bank account. Only Eliza has signature authority on the account, as she is the sole trustee. Larry then transfers $100,000 of his money into the trust account. From this point forward, Eliza, as the trustee, manages the money for the rest of Larry’s lifetime. She makes sure that Larry continues to receive the interest as income beneficiary of the trust, and Eliza distributes the principal to the other children (all designated as principal beneficiaries) after Larry’s death. If Larry had needed to move into a nursing home five years after the trust was created, the $100,000 would not be considered as a countable asset for Medicaid eligibility.
