I'm trying to understand how it works. have aging parents in Israel who have everything in their name , and their assets are mostly in US accounts. I understand its better to have everything in a trust but where do we start?

Every state is different.
Are you referring to NY?
My husband is an attorney, you can PM me if you wish.

I’m looking into it now. You can have a revocable or irrevocable trust. The revocable trust will avoid probate. The irrevocable trust will ready the account for Medicaid. There are consequences for moving the money into a trust, so you should speak to a trust & estate lawyer to get the details. It’s worth a consultation.
