Focused and Comprehensive Medicaid Planning
Families faced with the prospect of long-term nursing home care are frequently overwhelmed with concerns about the anticipated financial drain on assets. Medicaid is a government program with government benefits that families often cannot otherwise pay for, usually nursing home care. Many common Medicaid planning mistakes, however, preclude people from accessing Medicaid benefits. If you have questions concerning Medicaid, contact a knowledgeable lawyer for answers.
We have more than 35 combined years of legal experience, and we can help with your Medicaid application and the planning that will affect your access to these benefits. Serving West Palm Beach, Florida, our attorneys at the law firm of Mitchell I. Kitroser, P.A., command a comprehensive knowledge of Medicaid provisions and benefits and can help you.
How We Can Help You With Medicaid
To qualify for Medicaid, an applicant must meet certain asset and income restrictions. Clients are fearful that they will have to "spend-down" most of their assets to qualify for these benefits. Our attorneys can find ways to retain access to many of your assets so that you can use them throughout your life and still qualify 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 spouse and still qualify, for example. We can help make sure you qualify.
- We can often help you dispose of 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.
