Firm Description
Attorney Kozol specializes in addressing the legal needs of older Floridians. These needs center around: (1) protecting the client's assets and income for the client's benefit and for the benefit of his or her spouse, and (2) protecting and preserving the client's estate for the benefit of his or her spouse, children and, in some cases, grandchildren.
Protecting assets and income can include making use of creditor protection afforded by state law for certain assets, such as IRAs, 401k plan balances, a personal residence and some commercial annuities. In an estate planning context, asset protection and preservation include making use of a will, a revocable trust, a durable power of attorney, various health care documents and for some an irrevocable trust.
In a Medicaid eligibility context, asset protection involves some combination of: a"Miller" trust, intrafamily gifts made via an irrevocable trust and coordinating the funding of the trust with the 5 year look back rule, a Medicaid qualified immediate annuity and a personal care contract.
Medicaid eligibility is often easier to achieve for married clients because the Medicaid program provides a greater asset and income allowance for the spouse of a Medicaid applicant than is provided for an applicant who is single.
Attorney Kozol strives to offer custom legal solutions that address the particular needs of each client.
