Stephen focuses his practice on helping families and individuals plan for the unexpected. Very few of us ever think we're going to end up in a nursing home but, unfortunately, the odds are against us. Statistically, about half of us will end up in a nursing home before we die. Many families think they have to impoverish themselves and that they can just give away their assets in order to qualify for Medicaid coverage. Unfortunately, that won't work because there are strict rules and penalties in place that will adversely affect your Medicaid benefits qualification. I can help you develop a plan which will enable you to be able to leave something for a loved one upon your death and still qualify for Medicaid.
