Medicaid Planning
Fact: Not everyone should, needs to, or can give away his or her assets. This type of planning is often referred to as Medicaid planning. Whether or not to do Medicaid planning and what changes to make, if any, depends on many factors. Those factors include how soon the person expects to need nursing home care; whether the person needing care is married or single; his or her age, health status and financial circumstances; and his or her family situation. Financial considerations include the amount of income available to pay for the care; the type and value of assets owned by the person or married couple; the income tax consequences of choosing one course of action over another; whether or not the person has long-term care insurance; and the degree of financial control the person wants to retain.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Notwithstanding this new law, a person can still create a trust with terms that are different from the default terms of the MUTC. The terms of a trust can supersede most, but not all, of the rules found in the MUTC. It is not necessary to replace existing trusts. However, the terms of the MUTC should be considered when a person has his or her next periodic estate planning review, or if a trust is being amended.
Wills
Trusts
1. Introduction. Special needs trusts can be categorized as either “self-settled” or “third party” trusts. A self-settled special needs trust is an irrevocable living trust created for the benefit of a disabled person and funded with the disabled person’s own property. A third party special needs trust is a living trust created for the benefit of a disabled person and funded with property owned by someone other than the disabled person.
Power of Attorney
In the case of a legally competent, disabled adult, a parent or grandparent may establish a “seed” trust using a nominal amount of his or her own money, or if State law allows, an empty or dry trust. After the seed trust is established, the legally competent disabled adult may transfer his or her own assets to the trust or another individual with legal authority (e.g., power of attorney) may transfer the individual's assets into the trust. In the case of a trust established through the actions of a court, the creation of the trust must be required by a court order. Approval of a trust by a court is not sufficient.
Probate
Most of the current statutory probate law in Massachusetts is found in Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 190B known as the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (“MUPC”). The MUPC became effective on March 31, 2012. There was an amendment to the MUPC in July, 2012. Amended Standing Order 5-11 sets forth transitional rules for estates pending on March 31, 2012, or having a decree issued prior to March 31, 2012. The Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court contain the Court’s rules. Some of the Uniform Probate Court Practices remain in effect.

Foreclosure
The titles and powers assigned to the individuals who become MERS's certifying officers are confounding given that these individuals are not actually connected to MERS in any way. That MERS can consider an individual who is not an employee of the company, has never been to the company's location, does not know where the company is located, has never met the company's president, does not know who the president is, and has never communicated personally with the company in any way to be a vice president of that company is inconsistent with even the most expansive definition of the term vice president. It does not follow that because a belief is convenient it is also true. Peterson, supra, at 146 (emphasis added) (citing testimony given in a foreclosure case by an employee of a Florida debt collection law firm, who, as a MERS certifying officer, would sign twenty to forty mortgage assignments per day on MERS's behalf). Perhaps the designation of servicer and law firm employees as assistant secretaries of MERS is less absurd, but it is still misleading. While many of these servicer and law firm employees are secretarial workers in the businesses that they actually work for, they are not assistant secretaries of MERS in any meaningful economic sense. They have no more contact with MERS than vice presidents do. Indeed, the fact that MERS's boilerplate resolutions allow the employees to just pick which title they want to use is compelling evidence that the whole concept is twaddle. Id.
