Indiana Estate Planning
If you die without a will in Indiana, state law provides a 'will' for you (called intestate succession). For a person married with children, the surviving spouse can expect to keep only half of the probate assets with the rest being given away to immediate family members. Few people want this outcome. This is why it is vitally important to have a valid will in Indiana.

Medicare Issues
No more waiting lists and additional support for transportation, nutrition and housing services are key parts of the State's Aging Reform Agenda in 2008. Steve Smith, director of the FSSA Division of Aging, noted that wait lists are being reduced already. The goal is to eliminate the lists totally in 2008. By using more State funds to leverage Federal matching dollars, 8,000 older Hoosiers from the wait list are now receiving services.
