Texas Land Title Institute Page 1 LADYBIRD OR TODD - WHICH ONE GOES HOME WITH YOU? The purpose of this presentation is to compare and contrast the Transfer on Death Deed adopted by the Texas legislature in 20151 with the Ladybird deed also known as a deed retaining a life estate with a power of appointment. These two deeds arose out of two separate purposes. The presentation will discuss those purposes and the potential use of each deed. The Ladybird deed has been around since about 2005, the year that the Texas Health & Human Services Commission adopted rules implementing the 2003 Medicaid Estate Recovery statute. Ladybird Deed is the slang name for an Enhanced Life Estate Deed or a Deed retaining a life estate with a power of appointment. A Grantor transfers property to a grantee retaining a life estate along with the power to sell the property retaining the proceeds of the sale thus cutting off grantee’s right to the property.2 The Transfer on Death Deed is statutory, passed by the 84th Legislature and was effective on September 1, 2015. In reviewing some of the estate planning legislation out of the 2015 legislature, there appears to be a mandate to provide a self-help means of transferring property at death. For example, Senate Bill 512 requires the creation of statutory Will forms while Senate Bill 462 ultimately enacted the Transfer on Death Deed that included a statutory form to transfer real property outside of probate. PURPOSES: The legislative history of SB 462 sets out the purpose for creating the statutory deed: Nearly all probate matters require legal counsel, and many beneficiaries are unable to afford legal counsel. As a result, otherwise inheritable real property is now passed through intestacy to pay for the decedent's estate. This problem can also lead to cloudy titles and complex unintended co-ownership structures that pose difficulties for owners, title companies, local governmental entities, and other real estate stakeholders. S.B. 462 creates a Transfer on Death Deed, which is a way for a real property owner to transfer real estate property while living, with or without a will. It will allow clean title to pass to the respective descendant or beneficiary without going through probate The Texas Legislature enacted portions of the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act to set up a simple process for the non-probate transfer of real estate in Chapter 114 of the 1 SB 462, 84th Legislature. 2 Texas Estates Code §111.052. -1- Texas Land Title Institute Page 2 Texas Estates Code.3 Thus, the primary purpose of a ToDD is for estate planning as stated in the legislative history to provide an individual with a simple and inexpensive way of passing real property at death. Of course, using a ToDD to pass real property outside of the probate process could also avoid Medicaid Estate Recovery, as discussed below. While the Ladybird deed also passes assets outside of probate creating the same simple and inexpensive way of passing real property at death, the primary purpose of a Ladybird deed is to avoid Medicaid Estate Recovery. In order to understand the original purpose for executing a Ladybird deed, there needs to be a little background. MEDICAID ESTATE RECOVERY In 1987, the Texas Legislature buried an estate recovery law in a statute reorganizing a governmental department. The law allowed the State of Texas to place a lien on the home of a medicaid recipient in order to obtain reimbursement for state Medicaid expenditures made on behalf of the recipient. But, the law caused so much discord that it was repealed in the 1989 session as Senate Bill 1, effectively immediately. In 1993, in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, Congress mandated that states recover certain Medicaid expenditures made for a recipient over the age of 55. After the 1987 fiasco, the Texas Legislature resisted implementation of estate recovery for ten years. In 2003, though, an amendment authorizing estate recovery was attached to a 2003 state bill that reorganized a governmental department but this bill implemented an unsecured creditor statute to try to avoid the fire storm created by the 1987 statute. House Bill2292 was subsequently enacted into law, allowing the State of Texas to recover payments made on behalf of a person who receives Title XIX Medicaid benefits. The Medicaid federal laws are found in Title XIX of the Social Security Act. However, other Medicaid benefits are found in Title XX. Only Title XIX Medicaid is subject to Medicaid Estate Recovery. The 2003 state law effecting estate recovery was brief: "SECTION 2.17. Subchapter B, Chapter 531, Government Code, is amended by adding Section 531.077 to read as follows: Sec. 531.077. RECOVERY OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. (a) The commissioner shall ensure that the state Medicaid program implements 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(b)(1). (b) The Medicaid account is an account in the general revenue fund. Any funds recovered by implementing 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(b)(1) shall be deposited in the Medicaid account.

  • The Medicare Program Was Signed Into Law by President Lyndon B
    The Medicare program was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 30, 1965. Former President Harry S. Truman and his wife were the first beneficiaries. Medicare continues to cover hospital and doctor's visits for older Americans, and now it includes many types of preventive care and prescription drugs. Here are 10 important things you should know about Medicare. What's covered. Medicare Part A covers hospital care and some types of home health care. Medicare Part B is medical insurance that pays for doctor's office visits and outpatient services. Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage Plans are an alternative to original Medicare provided by private insurance companies, often with extra coverage restrictions. Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs, typically in exchange for an additional premium. How much you are paying in. Most workers pay 1.45 percent of their earnings into the Medicare system, and employers match that amount. Self-employed workers contribute 2.9 percent of their income. Earnings that exceed $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples trigger an additional 0.9 percent tax. The enrollment deadlines. You can enroll in Medicare during the seven-month period that begins three months before the month you turn 65. Coverage can start as early as the month of your 65th birthday. If you don't sign up during this initial enrollment period, you could be charged higher premiums for the rest of your life. "If they sign up later than 65 for Medicare, they are going to pay late penalties," says Tanya Feke, a medical doctor and author of "Medicare Essentials: A Physician Insider Explains the Fine Print." "Someone who is working and has health insurance through their employer, they may be able to delay signing up for Medicare without penalties." If you postpone signing up for Medicare due to group health insurance through your current employer, sign up for Medicare within eight months of leaving the job or the coverage ending to avoid the penalty.

Our first suggestion for you is to buy yourself an accordion file. Commit to starting the New Year off, filing all your important papers. You’ll be amazed at how organized you will be! Speaking of amazed… when you go to the supermarket, do shoppers ask you if you work there? I’m always amazed! What makes me look like I work there? I also think it’s amazing that guide dogs can sniff out allergens. Have we run out of new movie January ideas so much that we can only remake old ones? What I really 2019 miss is the peach buds that are only sold around Christmas. You know the sleek pink candies filled with peanut butter filling! It took me a long time to figure this one out!!! NECCO Candy closed! So, of course there are no peach buds this year! Let’s fig- ure out the recipe and corner the market in time for next year! Keep in mind, I have no candy making experience and 76% of our staff is volunteers! Happy New Year! From Your Mayor Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family a 2019 filled with health and happi- ness. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday season and spend quality time with family and friends.

You can visit Medicare.gov or call the toll-free number 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or the TTY number 1-877-486-2048 for the latest information about Medicare. What is Medicare? Medicare is our country’s federal health insurance program for people age 65 or older. People younger than age 65 with certain disabilities, permanent kidney failure, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), can also qualify for Medicare. The program helps with the cost of health care, but it doesn’t cover all medical expenses or the cost of most long-term care. You have choices for how you get Medicare coverage. If you choose to have Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) coverage, you can buy a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy from a private insurance company. Medigap covers some of the costs that Medicare does not, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. If you choose Medicare Advantage, you can buy a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that bundles your Part A, Part B, and usually drug coverage (Part D) into one plan. Although the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the agency in charge of the Medicare program, Social Security processes your application for Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), and we can give you general information about the Medicare program.

He turned to the Job Corps, a federal program that trained young people from poor backgrounds. He learned to operate construction equipment, but his dream was to help people. On the advice of his Job Corps counselor, he joined VISTA—Volunteers in Service to America—often called the “domes- tic Peace Corps.” Both the Job Corps and VISTA sprang into being in 1964, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. This law was the main offensive of Johnson’s “war on poverty” and a cornerstone of the Great Society. VISTA assigned Alfred to work with a community of poor farm laborers in Robstown, Texas, near the Mexican border. There he found a number of children with mental and physical disabilities who had no special assistance, education, or training. So he established the Robstown Association for Retarded People, started a parents educa- tion program, sought state funds, and created a rehabilitation center. ▼ At age 20, Larry Alfred was a high school dropout, Job Corps graduate, VISTA VISTA volunteers volunteer, and in Robstown, an authority on people with disabilities.
