Protect Your Assets While Securing Quality Care for Your Loved Ones

Medicaid Planning

The purpose of our Medicaid planning practice is to help clients with loved ones in need of long-term care preserve the maximum amount of assets they have accumulated during their lifetime. We help individuals in need of placement in a skilled nursing facility qualify for Medicaid, thus avoiding (1) a spend-down of life savings in the face of the astronomical costs of long term care and, in turn, (2) the impoverishment of the healthy spouse.

The already high and ever-rising cost of nursing home care can be crushing and make practically anyone faced with this difficulty feel ill-equipped to adequately shoulder this burden. But there are solutions available. With our help you can confidently move forward to get your loved one the care they need while preserving assets.

Finding Effective Ways to Maintain Your Assets

We help families navigate the thorny and complicated process of qualifying for Medicaid while simultaneously avoiding a nursing home spend down. Our attorneys routinely provide clients with effective and innovative options for the overall preservation of assets based on the individual's or family's unique situation. We are adept at identifying and implementing successful techniques to help you protect what you've work hard to build so you can leave it to those you love.

Five Year Look-Back Period

The government "looks back" at any potential gifts you made during this time in an overall attempt at imposing a penalty period (or period of ineligibility) preventing you from receiving Medicaid benefits, leaving you to pay out-of-pocket for the cost of long term care.

Substantial Asset Ownership

Medicaid planning isn't necessarily restricted to a tiny segment of the population. Rather, it is a viable and, in our experience, under-utilized solution for most people.

Estate Recovery Concerns

One of the biggest fears a family can have is losing their home. The prospect of qualifying a loved one for Medicaid who is in need of long-term care oftentimes has the effect of amplifying these anxieties. We can put these fears to rest.
