Tip of the Month: How do you protect your home from Medicaid?

While a home is a non-countable asset for Medicaid, using Medicaid benefits does have an "estate recovery" component. That means a lien can be placed on the property for the amount paid in benefits after the person passes away.

Oftentimes, people place their home in their children's names to try and protect it from future liens. Before making that decision, contact us to learn more about the potential risks, tax implications and legal considerations involved, as well as alternative planning strategies that may better protect your home, assets and long-term goals.

🎙️ Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference

Abigail Plankey, Attorney at Hooper Law Office, joined Hayley Tenpas on Focus Fox Valley this week to discuss a difficult but important topic: what to do when your spouse passes away.

If something happened tomorrow, would your spouse know where to start? Having an estate plan in place can help ease the stress and uncertainty during an already overwhelming time.

And when you're grieving, the last thing you need is to feel like you have to navigate everything alone. Our team is here to help you understand your options and navigate the legal and financial responsibilities so you have one less thing to worry about.

A little preparation today can make a meaningful difference tomorrow.

If you or a loved one needed nursing home care, would your home and savings be protected?

For those who financially qualify, Medicaid provides one option to pay for long-term care when a patient can no longer afford to cover the cost on their own. However, most people don’t qualify until they’ve spent a significant portion of their estate.

You don't have to navigate this alone. Our experienced attorneys can walk you through the best options for you and your family and plan for long-term care costs.
