The possibility of a nursing home and being unable to care for one's self may seem distant or even improbable. Unfortunately, you need to begin planning as soon as possible to restructure your income and assets to meet Medicaid requirements.
- Currently, there is a five-year look-back period for Medicaid eligibility. That means you can be required to produce financial documentation for the five years prior to eligibility.
- Assets can be "spent down" or restructured to avoid affecting your Medicaid eligibility. For example, certain trusts can hold assets for special needs.
- Our law firm can help you find other resources that can aid you in elder planning. Because of our focus on estate planning, we have a network of planning resources including geriatric case managers, financial planners, and accounting and tax specialists.
The sooner you begin to investigate potential strategies for protecting assets and planning for the future, the sooner you can have the peace of mind that comes with having a plan in place to deal with potential needs. Our lawyers can help you.
