Medicaid Planning Lawyer NY

WHAT IS MEDICAID PLANNING?

Medicaid Planning is any assistance that is provided to a potential Medicaid applicant in order to ensure their Medicaid eligibility and avoid any claims or incompliances with Medicaid rules and regulations.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEDICAID PLANNING IN NEW YORK?

Long-Term Health care can be expensive and residents of a nursing home can exhaust their life time savings very quickly. To avoid such burden there is MEDICAID PLANNING. In general, MEDICAID PLANNING helps you create ways of making your assets and income inaccessible.

Another two goals that can be accomplished by doing timely Medicaid Planning is to preserve assets for your loved ones and provide for your healthy spouse (if you're married).

There are several strategies developed by the attorneys over the years to rearrange ones finances and legally shelter assets from the state. Medicaid Planning, if done by professionally, is completely ethical and wildly used across the nation by people who are looking to maintain their accustomed lifestyle and protect their loved ones and family assets even after they are no longer able to do it themselves.

How can a Medicaid Planning Lawyer help?

These Medicaid Planning strategies and the Medicaid rules themselves can be complicated, which is why you should call a knowledgeable and experienced NY Medicaid Planning attorney at our office. Even the smallest mistakes in completing the Planning or applying for Medicaid can result in denial. To ensure that your medicaid planning tools are developed and implemented correctly – seek professional assistance.

More specifically, what are some medicaid planning strategies?

One of the many strategies available is to create an IRREVOCABLE TRUST. Any property (real or personal) placed in an irrevocable trust will be excluded from your assets, for Medicaid purposes. With a proper beneficiary, the principal that you deposit into the trust will be sheltered from the state and can be preserved for your heirs. Generally, such trusts must be created and funded for a specific period of time for this strategy to be an effective Medicaid planning tool.
