Can I give all my assets to my children to protect them from future Long Term Care Expenses and what are the consequences of doing this?
Yes you can give all your assets to your children but it will probably cost you hundreds of dollars in real estate taxes each year and will probably cost your children thousands of dollars in capital gain taxes when you die.
What is the difference between a Revocable Living Trust and an Irrevocable Trust?
Both Revocable Living Trusts and Irrevocable Trust can protect you from probate if they are properly funded (all assets have been transferred into the trust or titled in the name of the trust).

Can I receive both VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Medicaid?
No. The typical scenario is when a Veteran is getting in home care or is in an Assisted Living Facility they are typically eligible for VA Aid and Attendance Benefits but not typically eligible for Medicaid (Medicaid will sometimes pay for very limited amounts of in home care and limited amounts in an Assisted Living Facility but many Veterans will not qualify for this type of Medicaid).
