Benefits of Funeral Trusts
There are several benefits to purchasing an Irrevocable Funeral Expense Trust, some of which have already been discussed above.
They turn countable assets into noncountable assets for Medicaid eligibility purposes. Not only can an Irrevocable Funeral Trust be purchased for the Medicaid applicant, but also for their spouse, to further “spend down” countable assets. Some states also allow one to purchase an IFT for other immediate family members, such as one’s adult children.
They do not violate Medicaid’s Look-Back Period. Therefore, there is no penalty for creating this type of funeral trust.
They do not restrict which funeral home can be utilized upon the death of the trust beneficiary. Any funeral home, located anywhere in the United States is an option.
Relatives can make funeral arrangements as they see fit, as in most cases, arrangements are not pre-specified.
Relatives of the deceased do not have pay for burial and funeral costs.
