Many Georgia families ask some version of the same question:

“Will Medicaid take the house if Mom or Dad needs nursing home care?”

The better answer is usually: Medicaid does not simply take a home the moment someone needs care, but the home can still become an important issue. Medicaid eligibility rules, estate recovery, probate, ownership, timing, and family circumstances can all affect what happens.

Planning before a crisis usually gives families more options and fewer surprises.

What happens if someone dies without a will in Georgia?

Many people assume the surviving spouse automatically receives everything, but that is not always how Georgia law works. If there are children, the surviving spouse and children may share the estate. Real estate, debts, title issues, and year’s support can also affect what happens next.

I put together a plain-English guide covering:
• who may inherit under Georgia intestacy rules
• whether probate may be needed
• what may happen to the house
• who may serve as Administrator
• why family disagreements can make the process more complicated

In recognition of National Elder Law Month this May, this year’s theme is Protecting Rights, Fighting Scams.

Scams targeting older adults are becoming more and more sophisticated, and even more harmful.

Elder law attorneys can play a critical role in helping individuals prevent fraud and protect what matters most. Now is a great time to review your plan or connect with an elder
law attorney.

Scams targeting older adults are surging — now’s the time to act. During National Elder Law Month, NAELA is urging attorneys to step up prevention as losses have climbed to the billions, with clients often pressured into split-second, irreversible decisions.

When planning for a loved one with special needs, how assets are structured matters just as much as the support itself.

A Special Needs Trust can help protect important benefits like SSI and Medicaid while still allowing funds to be used to improve quality of life.

If this is something your family is navigating, thoughtful planning can make all the difference.
