If you or a loved one is concerned about the rising cost of nursing home care or assisted living, Medicaid planning may offer peace of mind and financial security. By planning ahead, you can preserve your legacy and reduce the burden on your loved ones.
PROTECTING ASSETS
PLANNING FOR CARE
Applying for Medicaid isn’t just about filling out forms — it’s about timing, asset management, and avoiding costly mistakes. Medicaid has strict income and asset limits, and failure to plan could result in ineligibility or significant delays in benefits.
Our attorneys provide tailored guidance to help:
- Transfer or protect assets legally and ethically
- Avoid penalties from improper gifting
- Plan for the Medicaid “look-back” period
- Qualify without spending down your life savings
Whether you’re planning proactively or facing an urgent care situation, we can help you structure a plan that works for your goals.
WHAT MEDICAID PLANNING ADDRESSES
A well-structured Medicaid plan can:
- Preserve the family home and other key assets
- Structure income to meet Medicaid limits
- Avoid or reduce estate recovery by the state
- Prevent financial strain on spouses and family members
- Provide peace of mind for long-term care funding
Every family is different — we tailor our approach to your needs, financial situation, and timeline.
