Answer
Hi again
Call 1-800-803-7174 and you will reach the MMAP office nearest you. Call them and request to speak with a MMAP counselor regarding Medicaid. In particular, If a farm in a trust is an accountable asset.

Hi again
Reason I gave you the local MMAP number is that there are several personal questions that needed to be answered to give you a positive answer, I did not think you would want them in line.
