Medicaid Planning

Many seniors live in fear of losing their home and all of the assets that they have worked their entire lives to build, once they are no longer able to care for themselves. Morton Law Firm can provide counsel to these seniors who want to preserve their dignity as they age, and further want to pass some of what they worked for to the next generation. Many worry that they will loose all of their possessions if their spouse is admitted into a nursing home. There are many misconceptions about Medicaid law and enforcement, that can easily be explained by a qualified lawyer. Seniors anticipating future placement into a nursing home can take several steps to preserve their assets. Options include establishing certain trusts, spending funds on assets which are exempt from Medicaid qualification calculation, and payment for services or things for fair market value. The laws, rules, and regulations governing Medicaid qualification are complicated, and require knowledgeable professional advice. The staff at the Morton Law Firm can provide this counseling in a compassionate manner, in order to achieve the senior’s desired result.
