Florida Estate Planning & Medicaid Asset Protection Lawyers

Elder Needs Law is a Florida-based law firm focusing on estate planning, asset protection, and Medicaid. Our goal is to help clients across Florida with their estate planning needs, such as creating wills, going through probate, and establishing beneficiaries. Ultimately, we help clients plan today so that they can afford long-term care later in life.

Here are some advantages of working with Elder Needs Law:

• Protecting your current assets
• Securing your retirement savings
• Reducing probate costs
• Avoiding long-term care expenses
• Saving you from expensive nursing home costs

Often, people put off estate planning. They figure that it can wait. While you can start estate planning anytime, there are certain benefits of starting sooner rather than later. For example, you can begin preparing for Medicaid assistance to qualify later in life. Also, if you plan now, you can secure your assets in case you pass away or become incapacitated.

If you'd like to start working on your estate plan, contact the team at Elder Needs Law today. Call now to schedule a consultation.

Medicaid and Medicare Planning

Medicaid and Medicare planning is the process of devising strategies to qualify for these assistance programs without selling or moving all of your assets. To be eligible for Medicaid, you must have no more than $2,000 in your name. Since applicants need assistance, they often sell their homes and get rid of their funds to meet this requirement.

However, this is not a good situation because many do not realize that Medicaid doesn't always cover 100% of your care costs. Typically, Medicaid pays for the first 20 days in a nursing home. After that, you usually have to pay a co-pay. The longer you need care, the lower your Medicaid coverage drops. So, what can happen is that you need to start paying for these expensive services, but now you only have $2,000.

At Elder Needs Law, we teach you about strategies to fight this system. For example, we can teach you about the 60-month look-back period, which states that you cannot transfer money or property to family members other than your spouse within the past five years. If you break this rule, you become ineligible for Medicaid. But not everyone knows that there are ways to protect funds even if you need Medicaid’s help paying for long-term care next month!

Our experienced Medicaid planning attorneys will help you qualify for Medicaid without going broke. Applying for Medicaid and understanding the requirements can be complicated. We can help.

Contact Elder Needs to devise a plan that allows you to receive Medicaid benefits.

Comprehensive Estate Planning

Elder Needs Law can help clients with many aspects of estate planning, such as:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Advance directives
• Powers of attorney

Elder Law

Elder law can include various legal areas like:

• Medicaid planning
• Estate planning
• Probate guardianship
• Nursing home abuse and negligence
• Retirement funds

Probate

Probate occurs after you pass away. It is the process of administering your estate and handling your remaining affairs. In your will, you typically appoint an executor. The executor of your estate will handle all aspects of probate, including distributing your funds, paying your debts, and taking inventory of your estate. Elder Needs Law can help you create an estate plan that avoids probate.

Guardianship

In your will, you can also establish guardians for your minor children. This is beneficial because you can choose someone you trust to care for your dependents if something happens to you.
