Medicaid Asset Protection Planning

With nursing home costs rising and people living longer, many families face tough choices when long-term care is needed. Medicare may help initially, but coverage is limited and often ends after just 100 days. At DeFio Law Firm, PLLC, we help you plan ahead with Medicaid asset protection strategies tailored to your unique needs and situation.

Protecting Your Assets & Finances

At DeFio Law Firm, we work with our clients to try to get ahead of and therefore avoid a crisis, setting up a plan that works for their assets and their needs. By legally restructuring your finances through Asset Protection Planning, we can help you to qualify for Medicaid while protecting your assets.

What Does Creating a Medicaid Plan Involve?

Sometimes it is placing the family home or property into a protection trust. Other times it is setting up a gifting plan. Regardless, we can guide you through the rules as they apply to your specific needs and family situation. We believe strongly that when it comes to preserving assets from the costs of long term care, “failing to plan is planning to fail.”

When Should I Begin Medicaid Planning?

The number one question we get is: “When is the right time to start Medicaid Planning?” The answer is always the same – before you need it. That said, we encourage you to set up a free, no-obligation consultation to get the facts about Medicaid planning from an attorney who has the experience to answer your questions.

Estate Planning

From simple bequests to complex tax matters, we can help you to properly plan and manage your estate, bringing you the peace of mind you deserve. Regardless of the size of your estate or your age, a well-thought-out and drafted estate plan should be one of the cornerstones of anyone’s financial plan.

It is not just about ensuring that your property will be received by the right people, but that it will be done so in the most efficient manner possible. If you have minor children, naming guardians for those children and trustees for their funds are essential.
