January 17, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Houston probate lawyer Whitney L. Thompson (https://www.wthompsonlaw.com/houston-probate-attorney/) releases a new article explaining what Medicaid considers a gift in Texas. The lawyer mentions that giving gifts to a loved one who is likely to need Medicaid assistance in the future is not the best step. This can be sad news for those who love gifting their loved ones with many different things.

According to the Houston probate lawyer, “Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. This includes gathering the assets of the deceased, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries according to the terms of the will or state law. Probate can be a lengthy and complicated process, which is why it is important to have a knowledgeable and experienced attorney on your side.”

In addition to handling probate matters, Attorney Thompson also assists clients with estate planning.

By working with Attorney Thompson, clients can have peace of mind knowing that their affairs are in order and that their loved ones will be taken care of after they are gone.

Another area of expertise for Attorney Thompson is guardianship and conservatorship. These legal arrangements allow a person to make decisions on behalf of someone who is unable to do so due to disability or incapacity. Attorney Thompson can help clients navigate the process of becoming a guardian or conservator, as well as representing clients in guardianship and conservatorship cases.
