Many families don’t start thinking about Medicaid planning until there’s an immediate health concern or a sudden need for long-term care.
But planning early often creates more flexibility, more choices, and less stress for everyone involved.

Early Medicaid planning can help families:

– Better protect important assets like a home or family camp
– Get legal and financial documents in order
– Create a clearer plan for future care needs
– Avoid rushed decisions during a crisis

Early planning helps families prepare, understand their options, and make thoughtful decisions while there’s still time.

Let us help you get prepared long before you need it. Call (802) 476-4856 or visit www.vtestatelaw.com.

Estate planning is not just about distributing assets. It is also about protecting your loved ones and keeping your plan up to date. This includes naming a guardian for minor children and regularly reviewing your plan to avoid gaps or outdated designations. Swipe to learn more.

One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that you must completely empty your bank account or sell everything you own before Medicaid can help with long-term care.

This myth causes a lot of unnecessary stress for families approaching retirement.

In reality, moving money, gifting property, or making major financial moves without legal guidance can actually cause penalties or delay your benefits.

As real estate lawyers, we are often asked what it means to purchase property through an LLC or a trust. While buying through an LLC or certain types of trusts can offer advantages such as liability protection, ease of estate planning, and more, it can also change how the transaction works both legally and practically. Swipe for more information.

Buying property through an LLC or trust is not just a naming decision; it is a choice that changes the legal framework of the transaction. Because of that, the structure should be carefully reviewed by an experienced real estate lawyer.

That said, if you are considering buying property through an LLC or trust, we can help you review the structure, identify potential risks, and ensure the transaction documents align with your goals. Give our team a call, and we can get started.

Some people worry that setting up a Power of Attorney means giving away their independence, but the reality is exactly the opposite.

Naming a trusted person to help with financial decisions is a powerful way to stay in control of your future.

A Power of Attorney acts as your personal backup plan, ensuring that someone you choose can step in to manage bills, property, or care-related paperwork if you ever need a hand. It prevents confusion and keeps your affairs in safe hands.

DIY estate planning can feel efficient, especially when online forms promise a complete will or trust in an afternoon. The problem is that estate plans are only effective if they comply with the state’s rules, are executed correctly, and work together as one coordinated set of documents.

Swipe to learn how a DIY estate plan can fail or cause delays and unintended consequences.

If you need an estate plan, know that we are here to help. Our team can help you create a compliant, comprehensive plan to protect your wishes. Give us a call today, and we can get started.

Want to keep the family camp in the family without giving up control? An Enhanced Life Estate Deed, sometimes called a Lady Bird Deed, could be the perfect tool.

This unique Vermont legal option lets you keep full ownership and control of your property during your lifetime, but automatically passes it to your kids or loved ones later on.

Because it bypasses the probate court entirely, it stays safe from Medicaid estate recovery

We are here to review your property goals together and determine whether this is a good fit for your family. Visit www.vtestatelaw.com or call (802) 476-4856 to discuss your options.
