The amendment to SB 258 maintains language that allows for the transfer of an asset in exchange for other valuable consideration, as long as the value of that consideration is equal to or greater than the asset's value. It also specifies that fees paid to a Probate Court-approved conservator or fiduciary for their services will not be seen as an improper transfer of assets when determining Medicaid eligibility. This clarity helps ensure that certain transactions and fees do not adversely affect eligibility for Medicaid benefits.
