Why Hire a Medicaid Planning Attorney?
Most citizens pay for long-term care through Medicaid. Medicare is not the same as Medicaid and only pays for a portion of skilled nursing care during rehabilitation. Private insurance usually pays for even less! The result is that most people pay for long-term care out of their own resources until they become eligible for Medicaid. To be eligible, you must become financially eligible under the program’s guidelines. Most people need an experienced attorney well-versed in elder law to prepare their plan for long-term care. This is why so many people contact the Medicaid planning lawyer at Allaire Elder Law
It’s not just the elderly population that may find themselves in need of long-term health care. When disabled adult children or a disabled spouse needs long-term care, creating a trust or transferring assets may be an option to qualify for Medicaid. Our Medicaid planning lawyers can advise you on transferring assets from one spouse to another, establishing a special needs trust, or keeping your home without losing your Medicaid eligibility or benefits.
