My brother has a personality disorder. He could never keep a job. He is on SSI and Medicaid. I will consult moms lawyer who wrote the trust. But didn't want to be constantly asking questions. Plus would like emotional support dealing with difficult brother.
I am the trustee, I guess. I am named as the person in charge of the trust.
Before mom died the lawyer mentioned a pooled trust. I guess that would be cheaper than hiring an individual lawyer to run the trust. But still I don't want to spend too much money thats not for brother. Mom wasnt wealthy. Dont know how long money will last.
To my knowledge, a pooled trust was mentioned as a way to qualify your mom for Medicaid. If she had lived, she would have needed Medicaid to fund her NH care.
Go back and talk to the lawyer and take another adult with you who can ask questions, so that you can understand this with greater clarity.
Please remember that first and foremost, you need to go see your doctor tomorrow and have your physical symptoms ( lightheadedness, etc) checked out.
