About this listen

Adding your name to a parent’s bank account feels helpful — but it can quietly create serious legal, tax, and Medicaid problems.

In this episode of The Great Wealth Transfer, David Pulcini, CFP®, explains why joint accounts are one of the most misunderstood estate planning tools and how they can backfire during long-term care and Medicaid planning.

We discuss:
• Why joint accounts legally give both people 100% ownership
• How Medicaid reviews joint accounts during eligibility
• Whether nursing homes can access joint account funds
• What happens to a house when long-term care enters the picture
• Smarter alternatives to joint accounts

Good intentions aren’t enough.
Understanding the rules protects your family, your assets, and your relationships.
