I work for a group of attorneys, and although it seems like a relatively simple question, there are differing laws in different states, and so many things that could affect your situation, I'd recommend seeking legal advice in your area. Not only regarding your question, but should something happen to you first, will your husband's rights be protected. Are there children involved? I see so many people go thru very traumatic situations that could so easily be avoided if they'd asked questions and had the proper paperwork filed. It's really not that expensive, but you need to protect both your financial futures now, while you have the chance.

Medicaid eligibility requirements vary from state to state. They are very difficult to understand and navigate. I think you would be well served to contact an elder-affairs attorney and not a casual practitioner.
