Long-Term Care Planning
Long-Term Care Planning AttorneysThe term “long-term care planning” is a broad description of techniques to protect the family’s assets in the event either spouse should be admitted to a nursing home. This technique could involve using irrevocable Medicaid trusts and waiting out a so-called five-year look-back period, suggesting long-term care insurance, or using the community spouse resource allowance and an annuity for so-called excess resources. Serving the Elderly and Their Families throughout MassachusettsNo one technique fits every situation and, in order for a lawyer to properly advise you, all family factors must be considered. Before proceeding with any long-term care plan, please be sure the plan is presented to you in writing and you sign off on the plan before it is implemented. The Elder Law Centers' attorneys have the legal and financial experience to help you develop a long-term care plan that fits the needs of individuals and families. Your plan should fit your needs and circumstances.
