How can an Elder Law Attorney help you obtain Medicaid benefits?
Our Medicaid Planning services include performing an extensive review of your financial, medical and family situation in order to determine the best course of action. Understanding Medicare rules (both in-state and federal) plays a large part in individual planning. By taking a full account of your situation, we can advise you on:
- Determining a spend-down scenario that will best serve your interests in saving money, protecting assets and financial security for spouses and family members
- Transferring “exempt assets” to chosen guardians or caregivers without experiencing penalties
- Calculating monthly allowances for spouses and health maintenance costs while in a nursing home
After careful and thorough consultation, we will assist you in qualifying for Medicaid benefits, paying for the cost of long-term care and helping to protect assets and savings.
