My mother is 95, bed bound and in frail health. We need to set up an income trust to put her social security payments in so she can continue to get Medicaid. This is her only form of income. I am her daughter and caretaker and I take care of everything else. We had a bad time getting her on Medicaid as they insist that my income is also hers. She now has Medicaid and we need to keep it as we are on a fixed, low budget.

Colorado recognizes a Miller Trust, which is a Medicaid Income Trust, which allows people that are income disqualified to qualify for Medicaid. Your income should not be imputed to your mother, so I would need to learn more to understand what is actually happening. Feel free to contact us for a free case assessment with one of our Elder Law attorneys at (303) 688-0944 so we can give you more specific advice to your particular case.
