Considerations For Your Individual Estate Plan And Medicaid Planning

The good news is we are living longer than ever before but this also comes with the reality that many of us will require long-term care and need certain protections in place for any state of incapacity. Long-term care is expensive and planning for the care is very important to protect your assets and your family from as much of a cost burden as possible. The reality of the numbers is that three out of four people will need long-term care at some point in their lives and the average cost for nursing home care in Ohio exceeds $75,000.00. Medicaid has become the single largest provider of financial assistance for nursing home costs. We assist families in understanding the Medicaid process to protect assets and effectively plan for their future. The laws are complex and need to be strictly adhered to avoid ineligibility and/or penalties.
We also assist families who have a special needs individual who receives assistance navigate the best plan for their future to provide support in a manner in which their government benefits will not be disrupted. We are here to help individuals and families in every income bracket maximize their future with the hard-earned assets they have, and we customize the planning to fit your needs. A trust can be a great tool to permit a person of your choosing to continue to manage your affairs during a temporary or permanent incapacity.
