I've been told we can assign my mother's (80 yrs old with dementia) Life Insurance Policy to the Funeral Home so it will not count as an asset so she can qualify for Medicaid. It is only 5K, but I'm still not comfortable with signing it directly to them. Is there any way to word the assignment that will better protect our interest (in case the funeral home folds, etc.) and that will also satisfy Medicaid? I would very much appreciate any help.
