Your Medicaid Questions Answered

What is Medicaid planning?

Medicaid planning helps you protect your assets while preparing for long-term care. It can involve creating trusts, structuring income, or adjusting asset ownership to meet eligibility requirements.

Can I apply for Medicaid on my own?

While it’s possible, many families find the process confusing and overwhelming. One small mistake can delay or jeopardize eligibility. Working with an experienced attorney ensures the best possible outcome.

Do I have to spend all my money before I qualify?

Not necessarily. There are legal ways to protect assets through tools like irrevocable trusts, spousal protections, and other strategies. We’ll help you understand your options based on your specific situation.

When should I start Medicaid planning?

The earlier, the better. Pre-planning gives you more options, but even in a crisis, we can help protect what’s possible and guide you through the process quickly and efficiently.

It’s Not Just About Eligibility, It’s About Peace of Mind

Medicaid planning is about more than protecting assets, it’s about protecting your peace of mind. Knowing that you or a loved one can afford quality care without losing everything brings comfort during a difficult time. We’re here to make that possible, with personalized legal solutions that give you clarity and control.
