- TrustsOne effective way to protect your estate from Medicaid recovery is to set up an irrevocable trust; this is a trust that cannot be changed once you have created it. The trust is drafted by the grantor (you), and the funds and principle will be protected when you pass and will automatically be transferred to your heirs. However, while you are still alive, your home is protected and you can still use the income for expenses. If you do need to move into a nursing home, the income from the trust will need to go towards the nursing home for your care. Since the funds in an irrevocable trust cannot be used for something other than nursing home care, it will be necessary to set up a cushion outside of the trust to pay for your other living expenses.
