My son has been living with Dad for a few years. Dad does not give son a check, but pays for things (like movies, restaurants), Son in turn, drives Dad to doctors, makes meals, cleans up, keeps him company. How will this affect Medicaid spend down? Should Dad be writing checks to son in stead? Do we need a contract of some sort? Thanks in advance.
Your son is earning this money in a very respectable way. Your dad would have to pay someone else to provide these services. So, why not make it a legal document so no one needs to worry. An attorney would know the right words to use.
Take care,
Carol
