Ten Years of Service to Georgia's Seniors
Troutman Sanders was mentioned in the Atlanta Legal Aid Society’s Winter 2015 Georgia Senior Legal Hotline newsletter for establishing, ten years ago, a pro bono program – the Qualified Income Trust aka Miller Trust – in conjunction with the Atlanta Legal Aid Society’s Senior Legal Hotline. This trust allows seniors who have income over Medicaid financial eligibility limits to qualify for Medicaid and obtain the skilled nursing home care they require.
The following have executed over 500 trusts since the inception of the program: Atlanta of counsel Judith Fuller; Atlanta associates Melissa Oellerich and Alison Will; Atlanta staff attorney Mark Windham; and paralegals Susan Pendergrass and Linda Omundsen.
