Questions Before You Start

Does submitting this form set up the trust?

No. It starts the process. Sara calls you within 1 business day to confirm the details, and the trust is set up once the paperwork is signed and funded.

Will I be charged when I submit?

No. There is no payment on this form.

Can I fill this out for my parent?

Yes. Many adult children start the form for a parent. Your parent, or the person with power of attorney, will need to sign the final paperwork.

How much should we set aside?

Enough to cover the funeral your parent wants, within your state's limit. Many families choose between $10,000 and $15,000 per person. Sara can help you decide.

Is it too late if my parent is already in a nursing home?

No. A funeral trust can be set up during a Medicaid spend-down. It isn't a gift, so it doesn't trigger the 5-year look-back penalty.

Is my information safe?

Yes. This form doesn't ask for Social Security or bank numbers. Sara collects those securely during setup.
