Medicaid look-back period—planning now protects assets later.

We help you plan for long-term care costs before they become a crisis, protecting your home and legacy from probate and the state. Our strategies include Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts designed to ensure you maintain control during incapacity while keeping your life savings where it belongs—in your family.

The fears that keep families up at night—addressed.

You're not just buying legal documents. You're protecting everything you've built.

The Nursing Home Fear

"Will I have to spend everything I saved before Medicaid kicks in?"

With proper planning, you can protect a significant portion of your assets while still qualifying for benefits—legally and ethically.
The Loss of Control Fear

"What happens if I can't make decisions for myself anymore?"

Our incapacity planning ensures your chosen people make decisions according to YOUR wishes—not a court-appointed stranger.
The Home Protection Fear

"Can the state take my house to pay for my care?"

Proper trust structures can shield your home from estate recovery, ensuring it passes to your family as intended.
The "Too Late" Fear

"My spouse is already in a nursing home. Is there anything we can do?"

Crisis Medicaid planning can still protect assets even after admission. The sooner you act, the more we can save.
