  • Episode 347: Estate Planning for Your Digital Life: What Happens to Your Online Assets including Bitcoin
    2026/10/28
    What happens to your digital life when you die? From email accounts and treasured family photos to online banking and cryptocurrency, our lives are increasingly digital. But are these assets included in your estate plan? In this episode of Aging Starts Now, Johnson McGinnis Outreach Coordinator Dana Hentschel welcomes Attorney Kyle Shannon of Crow Estate Planning and Probate to explore an often-overlooked aspect of estate planning: protecting your digital assets. Kyle breaks down what qualifies as a digital asset, explains Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in easy-to-understand terms, and shares a cautionary story about a family unable to access a loved one's cryptocurrency after an unexpected death. You'll also learn why passwords alone aren't enough, how powers of attorney and trusts factor into digital estate planning, and why choosing the right person to manage your digital assets matters. Don't let your digital legacy disappear simply because no one knows how to access it. Tune in for an informative conversation about protecting what you've worked for and making things easier for those you leave behind.

  • Episode 346: The Truth About Medicaid's 5-Year Look-Back and Other Common Myths
    2026/10/21
    Will Medicaid take everything you own? Does giving away money automatically disqualify you from benefits? And is it too late to protect your assets if you or a loved one is already in a nursing home? When it comes to Medicaid and paying for long-term care, misinformation can lead to costly mistakes. In this episode of Aging Starts Now, Johnson McGinnis Outreach Coordinator Dana Hentschel sits down with Associate Attorney Ryan Hicks to separate fact from fiction about Medicaid planning and Tennessee's TennCare CHOICES program. Together, they tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the five-year look-back rule, including: - What Medicaid actually looks for during the five-year look-back period. - Why giving away money or property can create unexpected penalties. - Whether certain gifts or transfers are allowed without penalties. - How Medicaid protects a spouse who remains at home. - Why having a trust doesn't automatically protect your assets. - What options may still be available when someone is already receiving nursing home care. The biggest takeaway? It's never too early to plan, and it may not be too late to explore your options. Before making major financial decisions based on something you've heard about Medicaid, get the facts. Understanding the rules and working with an experienced elder law attorney can help families avoid expensive mistakes and make informed decisions about long-term care.
