Accessing the correct public benefits for your aging loved one is an extremely difficult process. One Supreme Court justice called the Medicaid rules as having "Byzantine" complexity and "almost unintelligible to the uninitiated." While not every case needs an attorney to apply for Medicaid, for those who do not meet minimum guidelines, you will need help spending money correctly and documenting all aspects accordingly. To correctly apply for benefits and making the most of your loved one’s assets, you will need the necessary tax, real estate, elder, estate planning and public benefits knowledge to guide you through the public benefits maze.
When you or your loved one is experiencing imminent long-term care, such as a move to assisted living or nursing home, you need to know your legal options to make sure your loved one does not lose all of his or her hard earned assets. When appropriate, we will help you apply for
