IN THIS EPISODE:

• [0:28] How to ensure your real estate goes into your trust - four types of real estate
• [2:05] Protecting your home: a beneficiary deed
• [5:43] Protecting the family farm, which produces income: use LLC for asset protection
• [8:02] Protecting a vacation home or cabin and how you protect an Airbnb. Discussion regarding a management structure
• [10:50] Protecting your mineral interest

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• A beneficiary deed allows you to maintain complete control over your property during your lifetime while ensuring it automatically transfers into your trust upon your passing, protecting your assets from Medicaid for long-term care.
• You do not have to lose your family home to pay for long-term care. That asset can be protected. Your family farm can also be passed on to the next generation in a protected manner.
• Real estate planning may take the time upfront, but it ensures your assets are protected, and your beneficiaries receive what you intended for them in the long run.
