The Health Care You Need, Today And In The Future

Common threads for estate planning focused on a senior’s long-term care include:

  • Importance of powers of attorney, deeds and trusts, such as first-party supplemental needs trusts
  • Attention to Medicaid eligibility and applications
  • Asset and income exemptions allowed under Medicaid
  • Sheltering of any post-litigation awards to continue eligibility for Social Security and Medicaid benefits
