We acted as Co-Caregivers and both have passed. I have received -continuing bank statements- since His death in 2009 and Hers in 2005. She has an elderly daughter (69 yrs old - approx.) in a group home on SSI for 2 decades and as I understand if this amount were added to her income it would reduce her monthly income. Would she share this or receive the entire amount? The account has been dormant since Mothers death.
I also don't understand the role of your mother's death. Your post suggested that you and your father acted together either in trust management (were you trustees?) or in caregiving.
If CWillie is right and the trust was for a daughter with special needs, you have no right to the funds in the trust. But if the account has been dormant, is the money just "sitting" in a bank account, and not being used for the daughter's needs?
Sorry, your post is very confusing.
Please consult a lawyer familiar with trusts and medicaid. Do you have a copy of the trust agreement? If there is no successor trustee named the court would have to be petitioned to name one. It doesn't sound as though you are willing/able to take on this task so that would likely be whoever is in charge of the daughter, is she a ward of the state?
