Attleboro, Massachusetts: Medicaid Planning Assistance
Bristol County ∙ Norfolk County ∙ Plymouth County ∙ Barnstable County ∙ Worcester County
At Volterra, Goldberg & Jacobs, Law Counsellors, Inc., a major focus of our estate planning and elder law practice is helping elderly clients with financial planning to ensure Medicaid eligibility.
Advance Medicaid planning is important for many elderly people who want to ensure eligibility for Medicaid assistance with nursing home expenses — while leaving their financial assets available to distribute among their heirs after death.
Medicaid eligibility rules change frequently, and the laws are extremely complex. It is critically important to make sure you hire a Medicaid planning attorney who is qualified, educated and up-to-date on all of Medicaid's rules and regulations.
Experienced and Educated Medicaid Planning Attorneys
At Volterra, Goldberg & Jacobs, Law Counsellors, Inc., our lead Medicaid planning attorney is both a certified financial planner and a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Attorney Max Volterra attends frequent seminars on Medicaid planning and eligibility matters, and all our attorneys emphasize the importance of maintaining completely current knowledge of the laws and rules that are important to our estate planning clients.
How to Preserve Financial Assets While Still Qualifying for Medicaid
Medicaid's eligibility rules allow a person to have only very limited assets and income in order to qualify for Medicaid financial assistance. However, before you plan to spend down your assets or make pre-death inheritance gifts to your heirs in order to qualify for Medicaid, you should consult a lawyer to see what other options may be available to you.
Furthermore, if you have applied for and been denied Medicaid funds, one of our lawyers may be able to help you appeal the decision.
