Medicaid and Veterans Benefits Planning

An element of long-term financial and estate planning that is problematic for many clients is the cost of long-term care in a nursing home. Nursing home care can be prohibitively expensive and is not always covered by typical healthcare coverage. Many individuals find themselves paying for nursing home care out of their hard-earned savings until they have depleted their funds and are forced to seek other options. Individualized benefit planning with the assistance of EMSW’s experienced attorneys can help protect your wealth for intended beneficiaries rather than spending it all on medical bills. Options include special long-term care insurance, qualifying for Medicare and Medicaid benefits, and benefits administered through the Veterans Administration. Advance planning allows clients to protect their assets in advance, so that when the need arises they will quickly qualify for nursing care benefits. Each client’s financial and personal needs are unique, so our attorneys utilize a customized approach to ensure each client receives the best possible outcome for their situation.
