Proactive planning ensures you have multiple options and can choose how to budget expenses, protect assets for family members, and determine your level of care and quality of life. We prepare you for needs like:

  • Medicaid qualification, application, claims, and appeals
  • Qualified Income Trust/Medicaid Asset Protection Trust/Veterans Asset Protection Trust
