Medicaid, Nursing Home Planning & Preserving Family Assets
One of the greatest fears of older Americans is that they may end up in a nursing home. Most people end up paying for nursing home care out of their savings until they run out of money. Careful advance planning, or planning in anticipation of a nursing home application, can help you protect your assets for your spouse and your children.
In light of the New York State plan to restrict Medicaid Eligibility that exposes family savings, the elder law attorney is challenged to provide a plan with a method to transfer and preserve assets and find a solution to help families secure long-term care needs. The Ventre Law Office can help provide a plan with a method to transfer assets to caretakers for the services they provide to their elderly parents and disabled family members.
