This not only means a great loss of personal autonomy, but also a tremendous financial price. Depending on location and level of care, nursing homes cost between $40,000 and $180,000 a year. Most people end up paying for nursing home care out of their savings until they run out. Then they can qualify for Medicaid to pick up the cost.

In addition, by the time you’re applying for Medicaid, you may have missed out on significant planning opportunities.

By David A Coleman A codicil to a will is an amendment which varies the terms of an existing will. This amendment normally takes place in the context where a person want to change the assignment of property interests to other people.
