Proper Planning is Essential
The government has put in place strict rules for acceptance into the Medicaid program. Generally speaking, there is a five-year look-back period regarding assets transferred prior to qualifying for Medicaid. This means you could lose part or all of the funds that were transferred to another relative before you were accepted into the Medicaid program.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in estate planning, elder law and Medicaid planning matters. We understand the many ways in which legal asset transfers can be made. In your case, our goal will be to help your loved one find comfortable, dignified living accommodations while preserving as many assets as possible.
It's Not Too Late to Plan
Our firm can help you at any time. The sooner you speak with us, however, the easier it will be to develop a plan that enables you to achieve your goals.
