If there is a living trust, does the trustee have to pay medical bills out of the trust account that were not covered by primary or secondary medical coverage?

starstarstarstarstar 		Living Trust Funding Medical Bills
by: Mo Johnson

Hi, this is an easy one. No question a living trust can certainly be used to pay any kind of medical expenses -- including those not covered by insurance. The only question is what the language of the living trust states. It will state what expenses the trustee is authorized to using trust assets to pay for. Often the trustee has broad discretion to pay for necessary living expenses and those would normally include medical bills.

Now, does the trustee have to pay the medical expenses? Again, that will depend on the exact wording of the trust.

My question is similiar, but I want to know if the Trust has to pay the medical bills after the death of the Initial Trustor.
I modified the question below:

If there is a living trust, does the trustee have to pay medical bills out of the trust account, AFTER Death of the Initial Trustor, that were not covered by primary or secondary medical coverage?
