Medicaid & Medicare Planning

One of Americans’ biggest fears is that they may eventually wind up in a nursing home. The fact is that about half of all Americans will someday spend at least some time in a skilled nursing facility.

If you go into a nursing home, a significant concern is that the cost will drain your assets. Many skilled nursing facilities cost $100,000 or more per year. As a result, many people end up paying for a nursing home until they drain their savings. Then, they apply for Medicaid.

However, Medicaid planning with the help of our estate and Medicaid planning attorneys may help you qualify for Medicaid while protecting your estate.

Many people think they can give away everything they own to qualify for Medicaid. But, unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Medicaid has a transfer assets penalty, including funds gifted to children and charities.

The penalty starts when someone applies for Medicaid and would qualify, except for the transfer of assets (depending on the value of the gifts, a penalty is imposed). The Medicaid program looks back five years for these asset transfers.

Our attorneys can provide detailed advice and planning to deal with the 60-month look-back period. We can help you follow the law, potentially qualify for the program, and preserve your estate in many cases.

Before you think about transferring assets, you should talk to an elder law attorney who specializes in Medicaid planning. Our law firm can help you create an asset protection plan that may help you plan these transfers in a way that doesn’t affect your eligibility for Medicaid.

Comprehensive Estate Planning

Elder Needs Law has many years of experience helping our clients with comprehensive estate planning with the use of:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Advance directives, which are legal documents that state your wishes if you are ever medically incapacitated
• Powers of attorney

Elder Law

Elder law is a catch-all legal term that refers to such issues as:

• Medicaid Planning
• Estate planning
• Probate
• Retirement funds and benefits
• Medicare Plan Selection
• Nursing home abuse and negligence
• Employer Age discrimination

Probate

This court process reviews your assets and distributes them according to your will. Probate is expensive and time-consuming. However, a proper estate plan can avoid probate.

Our attorneys can devise an estate planning strategy that may mitigate the need for probate. For example, creating a revocable trust may eliminate the need for probate.

Guardianship

Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which the court appoints someone to care for your older relative who can no longer handle their affairs. Our estate planning lawyers can work with you to select a guardian for your loved one if needed.
