Medicaid Planning. Medicaid planning uses key legal strategies to provide for long term care for the disabled and seniors, while protecting family assets. If a person can qualify, Medicaid may pay for a Nursing home or “at home” care without the need to spend down their assets or sell their home. However, the rules of eligibility for Medicaid are strict and complex.

A properly drafted and executed Medicaid Plan can protect your family assets when the need for long term care becomes necessary. Although there are emergency strategies available to protect assets when no prior planning is done, the earlier you start, the more assets you can protect for you, your spouse and family.
