Medicaid & Long-Term Care Planning
Protecting Your Assets While Providing for Medical Care
The cost of care for a loved one with a disability or long-term care needs can quickly drain a family’s assets, sometimes leaving too little to pay for that care at all. Advanced Legal Planning, PLLC helps families create protective plans that shield a family’s assets while also allowing individuals to qualify for the care programs that they need.
How We Help Navigate Medicaid & Long-Term Care
Planning Ahead: In cases when we can plan in advance, we help families put protective plans in place well before care is needed. This allows us to structure assets using estate planning tools like trusts so the discussion of how assets affect eligibility for care is already answered.
Crisis Planning: Life happens fast, and when a crisis arises, we help families understand their options and guide them in creating and implementing a plan that is right for them.
Preserving Eligibility: Medicaid has specific rules surrounding income, assets, and the timing of transferring assets. We help families navigate these rules carefully, protecting an individual’s ability to receive the care they need without delay.
Protecting & Supporting the Spouse: While Medicaid has many specific rules about income and a family’s assets, it also allows a spouse who remains at home to use certain assets when the other spouse is in long-term care. We help our clients navigate these rules and access the funds they need to live their lives.
Coordinating and Working with Your Estate Plan: All of our Medicaid and long-term care planning efforts are meant to work in concert with your existing estate plan documents, and if there’s a conflict, we can help you address and adjust your estate plans as needed.
