Why You Should Use a Lawyer for Medicaid Application
Nursing homes can cost as much as $15,000 a month in some areas, so it is unusual for legal fees to equal the cost of even one month in the facility. It is not difficult to save this much in long-term care and probate costs. And most attorneys will consult with new clients at little or no cost to determine what might be achieved before the client pays a larger fee.
Medicaid rules provide multiple opportunities for nursing home residents to preserve assets for themselves, their spouses and children and grandchildren, especially those with special needs. There are more opportunities for those who plan ahead, but even at the last minute there are almost always still steps available to preserve some assets. It’s always worth checking out whether these are steps you would like to take.
Whether you should prepare and file a Medicaid application by yourself or should hire help depends on answers to the following questions:

“If you need help with Medicaid, look no further! When my mother ended up in a nursing home, we thought all was lost. Andrey and his wonderful team helped us qualify my mother for Medicaid. They even helped negotiating with the nursing home. In short, we wouldn’t be able to do without them. This firm is amazing!”
