Health Law

• Personal Injury
  With a special needs trust you can set aside money or property for the benefit of a child or an adult living with a disability. Such trusts are frequently used to receive an inheritance or personal injury settlement proceeds on behalf of the disabled person. They are created from the proceeds of insurance settlements, litigation or compensation from criminally-inflicted injuries.
• Medicaid Planning
  Medicaid planning: This option allows people to move their assets around (often into a trust) so that they retain the benefits of those assets, but also qualify for the benefits offered by Medicaid.

  Clients occasionally ask us about Will contests. In these situations, one person is upset with the terms of the Will and wants to challenge the Will in court. Tanko makes sure our clients know the consequences that follow a failed Will contest — in both Montana and Nevada, the losing party must pay all expenses of the contest for both sides.
• Trusts
  An irrevocable trust is a trust that cannot be changed or amended after the trust has been signed. A living trust can also be designed so that it becomes irrevocable after the passing of the trust maker or after a specified event occurs. The primary benefit of an irrevocable trust is to reduce the amount of taxes paid by the beneficiary after the death of the trust maker.
