Medicaid and Asset Protection (What Most Families Ask About)
Avoid unnecessary spend down: We use lawful strategies to help you qualify for Medicaid while protecting assets for the healthy spouse and family.
Common tools: Qualified Income Trusts (Miller Trusts), hardship waivers, exempt transfers, caregiver agreements, spousal refusal (where allowed), and properly structured spend downs that benefit the family.
Faster approvals: While attorneys typically cannot charge to fill out a Medicaid application, their planning and guidance often speed approvals and reduce costly delays—often saving more than the legal fee.
