Could your estate plan handle an unexpected emergency? Take this 5-minute self-audit:

☐ Who will get your stuff when you die?
☐ Do you have a current will or trust?
☐ Who will manage your affairs if you became incapacitated?
☐ Do you have a financial Power of Attorney?
☐ Do you have a Health Care Power of Attorney?
☐ Have you named a guardian for your minor children?
☐ Do you know what property will and won't be part of your estate?
☐ Are your beneficiary designations up to date?
☐ Do you have a plan to avoid probate and protect assets for your family?
☐ What would you do if you or your spouse needed long term care?

If any answer is "not sure," your plan may need attention. Estate planning should reflect your family, assets, and goals: and be reviewed after major life changes.

Did you know approximately 70% of people turning 65 today will eventually need long-term care? Whether it's in-home support, assisted living, or a nursing home, the need is real.

If you’re a Maryland homeowner, a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) might be the right move. Here is the "ideal" candidate profile:

1. Age 50+: Shifting focus from growth to protection.
2. Net Worth $300k–$2M: Assets exceeding Medicaid limits.
3. Homeownership: Protecting your primary residence and savings.
4. Healthy Today: Planning before a health crisis hits.
5. Legacy Minded: Keeping inheritance with family, not nursing homes.
6. Proactive: Planning 5+ years ahead for the look-back period.
7. Maryland Resident.

Planning isn't about pessimism; it’s about being prepared. We help families navigate these choices every day.
