Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that pays for healthcare if you have limited income. The federal government requires Medicaid to recover money that is paid for services from the estates of Medicaid beneficiaries who have died. This is called Estate Recovery.

The process of estate planning is to anticipate and facilitate the distribution of an estate.
A comprehensive estate plan plan will eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other administrative expenses.
An estate plan also enables families to designate a guardian for their minor children as well as themselves should there be a period of incapacitation.
