Pooled Trust Account
When you need to protect a loved one’s eligibility for public assistance programs, join a Pooled Account Trust with the expertise and caring professionals to meet and manage their needs! Pooled Account Trusts are a relatively new tool to protect eligibility for public assistance programs such as SSI and Medicaid for clients with significant long term health care needs.
Elder Law of Michigan, Inc. is a non-profit 501 c3 charitable organization that offers a Pooled Account Trust. Elder Law’s mission is to promote and protect the rights, health and economic well-being of people as they age or are disabled by providing information, advocacy, legal advice and professional servies. Based in Lansing, Michigan, since 1990, Elder Law serves the entire state and operates four hallmark programs for older adults: the Legal Hotline for Michigan Seniors, the Michigan Pension Rights Project, the Consumer Fraud Prevention Project and the award winning Michigan Coordinated Access to Food for the Elderly (MiCAFE) Program.
Elder Law of Michigan, Inc. gives trust beneficiaries and their families the peace of mind that comes from knowing the medical coverage and public benefits will be protected and that quality of life will be enhanced by using trust assets to meet other needs that are not covered by existing benefits.
Help those you care about improve their quality of life by:
- Allowing Elder Law of Michigan, Inc. and its agents at the law firm of Kemp, Klein to expertly manage trust assets to provide for needs that supplement the trust beneficiaries' basic care;
- Having a team of professionals dedicated to putting our beneficiaries' needs first; and
