Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania December 4, 2013 (Schell v. Department of Public Welfare)

OPINION BY

Judge McCULLOUGH.

This case presents an issue of first impression as to whether a beneficiary’s renunciation of her right to the remaining principal in a terminated residual trust, originally created by will, constitutes a transfer of assets for less than fair consideration thereby affecting her eligibility for Medical Assistance — Long Term Care (MA-LTC) benefits.
