in Caring for a Parent
I am currently in the process of getting medicaid for my mom. She got approved and got the card; however we now need to set up a pooled trust. Do people do this on their own, or does everyone hire a lawyer?

    Unless you are a Medicaid expert yourself, I would recommend an Attorney. Mistakes can be very costly.

    I would absolutely have this done professionally. Ideally by a certified elder law attorney who is familiar with Medicaid as it pertains to your state.
