How We Help With Medicaid
To qualify for Medicaid, an applicant must meet certain asset and income restrictions. Many clients are fearful they will have to "spend-down" most of their assets to qualify for these benefits. This should not be the case. Our attorneys can find ways to retain access to many of your assets and still qualify you for Medicaid.
With more than 35 years of combined experience, we routinely help clients avoid many of the common roadblocks and mistakes made in the Medicare process:
- Since there is a five-year look-back period, with enough notice, we can help with long-term Medicaid planning, estate planning and disposition of real estate. We can help ensure that your assets are handled in a way that is most effective for your long-term needs.
- If you are married, your spouse's income and assets will affect your eligibility for Medicaid. You can't simply gift all your assets to your loved ones and still qualify for Medicaid benefits. We help make sure you qualify.
- We often help you preserve your assets so that you can use them for the rest of your life without those assets preventing you from qualifying for Medicaid benefits.
- Through our more than 35 years of collective experience, we have helped clients retain significant financial resources through strategic Medicaid planning.
