Has anyone on this board experienced going through the creation of and overseeing a Miller Trust, aka Qualified Income Trust, for an elderly family member so that they can get Medicaid approval for long term/memory care?

Specifically in Texas.

Yes, I'm an elder law attorney here in FL. Do them all the time. They're just a glorified bank account.

Do I have to do one in TX, with a TX attorney, and fly down to see one/sign paperwork? Or can it be done long distance with e-sign?

Abot how much does it cost to set one up?

I do have POA.

You can have the Texas attorney draft it and you can sign it as POA anywhere you live. You'll need to find a bank either local to you or in Texas that can then set up the QIT. If you go to a big bank near you then you might be able to just set it up without having to fly down

Great, thanks. She currently uses Wells Fargo for her checking account, so I'll reach out to them about it, as well as an elder law attorney in north Houston.
