Protect Your Life’s Savings and Lifestyle
If you need home care or assisted living, running out of funds can cause you to lose your independence. Leverage your resources with Medicaid home care, VA Aid & Attendance, and Long Term Care Insurance to protect your lifestyle and protect your assets in the process. Already in a nursing home? You still have options.
Medicaid (Title XIX, Title 19),
Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension
Medicaid and VA Aid & Attendance pay toward home care, assisted living and nursing home care. If you are over-asset or over-income, you can qualify through Avoiding the Look-Back Period, Asset Protection Trusts, Spousal Protection, Excess Income Protection, and Personal Services Contracts, often despite Medicaid’s 5-year look-back.
Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts
All adults should have a Last Will and Testament to distribute property and appoint executors, or a Revocable Living Trust to avoid probate. Proper documents can also reduce estate taxes. A Durable Power of Attorney, Living Will and Appointment of Health Care Representative allow a loved one to act on your behalf, and avoid Conservatorship. Special Needs Trusts protect assets for disabled relatives.
