Attorney Karen G. Jackson to Lead Estate Planning Series at HCC
HOLYOKE—Attorney Karen G. Jackson of Jackson Law in Holyoke will lead a three-course series on estate planning at Holyoke Community College, beginning Oct. 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
“Powerful Tools to Save the Home and Other Assets from the Nursing Home Bill” will continue on Oct. 16 and 23. Participants will hear a high-level overview of MassHealth’s financial requirements, “so MassHealth, not the family, funds any necessary long-term nursing home care,” Jackson said.
She will also explain the benefits of what she calls the “powerful tools in estate planning”—the irrevocable trust, the caregiver child exception, the adult disabled child exception, the Medicaid qualified annuity, pooled trusts and long-term care insurance.
“I will explain the benefits and limitations of each of these tools and will invite and encourage questions,” Jackson said.
The cost for the series is $179. To register, call 413-552-2320 or visit hcc.edu.bcs.
