Having a plan in place is essential, and we’re here to help you preserve your hard-earned savings and property by offering you trustworthy guidance on protecting all of your assets.
Pre-Medicaid Planning
If you’re 62 or older, it’s time to start planning. The Medicaid system is complicated. It’s imperative to plan ahead. Pre-Medicaid planning is done before a parent or loved one enters a long-term care facility. The federal government requires a three to five year period before a trust is rendered active. If you don’t plan ahead, your assets are exposed should you or your spouse have to enter a nursing home.
Post-Medicaid Planning
It’s not always possible to prepare before a parent or loved one enters a nursing home. In these cases, we offer post-Medicaid planning to help alleviate some of the pressure that goes along with making these tough financial decisions. Although not all of the assets can be protected at this time, we work hard to ensure as much of your family’s wealth is secured as possible. There’s always something that can be done.
