What is Veterans Aid & Attendance Planning?

When you signed up to serve in the military, they didn't ask you about your assets. They were happy to have you, and you were proud to serve. But now, your assets could keep you from qualifying for important benefits.

Veteran's Aid & Attendance is a tax-free income benefit for disabled or partially-disabled war-time veterans and their spouses. The annual benefit may range from over $14,000 to over $36,000. For many veterans or their spouses, this additional income could be life-changing.

Eligibiliy is based on several factors, including your total countable assets. Tallgrass Estate Planning can help ensure that your savings, your real estate, and other assets are protected while helping you become eligible for Aid & Attendance.

Important rule changes took place in 2018 (link to blog post) which change how eligiblity is determined. It is critical you get up-to-date advice during this process.

Blended: Two Important Considerations for "Step" Family Estate Planning

Roughly a third to half of the families we work with are "blended," meaning some or all of the children - whether minors or adults - came into the new family with the spouses. Some families blend easily; others, not so much. Regardless, when it comes to estate planning, blended families have a few special considerations. If you are in a blended family, here are two things you need to discuss with your spouse and attorney.

Misconceptions: "I don't have much, so I don't need an estate plan."

Estate planning is not about how much stuff you have. It's just not. And yet, the sentiment "We don't have much" is a common response when the topic comes up. I want to take just a few paragraphs to let you know why you need an estate plan, whether you have millions or nothing more than a mortgage and a life insurance policy (or less).
