The Living Trust Plus(TM) Asset Protection Trust protects your assets from probate PLUS lawsuits PLUS the catastrophic expenses often incurred in connection with nursing home care. The Living Trust Plus(TM) is the only type of self-settled asset protection trust that allows a settlor to be trustee and retain an interest in the trust while also protecting the assets from being counted by state Medicaid agencies. Even though the Living Trust Plus(TM) is irrevocable, you retain a high degree of control over your trust assets because: (1) you can be the trustee if desired; (2) you can retain the right to receive all of the trust income; (3) you have the right to live in and use your real estate; (4) you have the right to change trustees; and (5) you have the right to change beneficiaries.
