Medicaid Planning
We help you prepare for Medicaid benefits.
Medicaid is a health insurance program funded by the federal and state governments. It is designed to provide financial assistance to people with low income and minimal assets.
The eligibility requirements for Medicaid are complex. We offer competent legal advice in Medicaid planning which should be obtained prior to you transferring assets, spending down assets, or submitting an application for Medicaid benefits.
Clients often come to us with questions like…
What about my Social Security payments, my retirement funds, my real estate, or other assets?
How can I protect my spouse if I go into a nursing home?
How and when should I utilize these resources while maximizing my eligibility for Medicaid benefits?
Our experienced attorneys are able to help you by taking a comprehensive look at your personal and financial situation and then plan accordingly. We have helped many New York state residents obtain Medicaid benefits through careful planning and submitting an application for benefits.
Let our firm assist you with Medicaid planning and application for benefits if you or a loved one needs long-term care. The sooner you get knowledgeable legal advice and begin managing your assets in preparation for this move, the greater chance of success in being approved for Medicaid.
