Medicaid planning is an essential aspect of elder law that entails the structuring of assets and income to ensure eligibility for Medicaid, which can cover long-term healthcare costs. Parent Your Parents provides informed legal guidance to Coconut Grove residents, ensuring they can navigate the complexities of Medicaid eligibility without compromising their financial security.
The Significance of Medicaid Planning
Long-term care costs in Florida can be prohibitively expensive, making Medicaid a vital resource for many seniors. Effective Medicaid planning helps in safeguarding your assets while securing the healthcare benefits you may eventually require.
The Need for Medicaid
Medicaid can cover expenses that Medicare does not, such as long-term nursing home care, which can be crucial for seniors with ongoing health care needs.
Asset Preservation
Our services focus on protecting your hard-earned assets from being entirely depleted due to the high costs of long-term care.
Legal Strategies in Medicaid Planning
Our legal services include several strategies to assist individuals in qualifying for Medicaid while preserving their wealth.
Asset Restructuring
We advise on how to legally structure your assets to meet Medicaid asset thresholds without losing the wealth you intend to pass on to your heirs.
Income Trusts
For individuals with income higher than Medicaid thresholds, we assist in setting up Qualified Income Trusts, also known as Miller Trusts, to properly channel income and gain Medicaid eligibility.
Spousal Protection
We employ strategies to ensure the non-applicant spouse has sufficient resources to maintain their standard of living.
Navigating Medicaid’s Look-Back Period
Medicaid’s look-back period in Florida requires careful planning. Any asset transfers made within five years of applying for Medicaid can incur penalties. Our legal counsel helps you understand and prepare for this scrutiny.
Medicaid Application and Appeals
The Medicaid application process is arduous and often confusing. Our services include assistance with the application process and, if necessary, representation during appeals if initial applications are denied.
