League City Medicaid Planning Attorney
Preparing for Long-Term Financial Support with Medicaid Planning
Most of us will require long-term care in some form before we pass. Comprehensive estate planning should take into account preparation for nursing home residency or the need for assisted living. These long-term care options can be tremendously expensive, however, and without a good strategy, they can eliminate your assets and any potential inheritance for younger generations. Our League City estate planning lawyer can offer skilled counsel in pursuing Medicaid as a helpful alternative to private funding for nursing homes.

Don’t Make Medicaid Mistakes
The look-back period of five years for gifts or transfer of assets should never be overlooked in preparing for Medicaid eligibility. If a determination is made that within this window of time an asset was transferred for less than its fair market value, assessed penalties can block Medicaid eligibility for considerable periods of time. Mistakenly transferring assets to a loved one with the best of intentions but without proper estate planning can lead to having to privately pay for nursing home care for months or years.
