Experienced Attorney: Nurse over 15 years and Nursing Home General Counsel
Prior to opening my law firm, I spent several years as general counsel for a nursing home corporation. Additionally, I was a nurse for over 15 years. I am very familiar with the legal and medical issues that you are likely to face in your later years, and I can help you prepare for these concerns.
Protect Yourself and Your Assets: Begin Planning Early
Effective Medicaid planning begins early. The federal government will consider your assets for up to five years prior to your request for Medicaid assistance. Some financial transactions within this look-back period may reduce your eligibility for assistance.
Even if you will eventually spend time in a nursing home, asset protection is possible with proper planning. We can work together to generate a financial plan that protects by placing your assets into Medicaid-qualified account.
You work hard to accumulate your wealth and want to protect it for future generations, Medicaid planning can ensure that you are able to maintain certain aspects of your current life style even when living on a restricted income. We can create an individual plan, making allowances for expenses Medicaid simply will not cover.
