Connecticut Medicaid Planning Attorneys

Many elderly Americans fear the prospect of losing their home or spending down their assets in order to qualify for Medicaid. Since Medicare benefits do not cover in-home, long-term care needs, adult children of the elderly could be faced with selling their parent’s home in order to qualify for Medicaid and healthcare benefits. A Medicaid planning lawyer from our office can create innovative solutions that may allow elderly people to keep their home and avoid depleting their assets. We provide a financial evaluation of your investments and property assets to determine if an irrevocable trust, pooled trust, or other financial arrangement will work best for you.
