Understanding Medicaid Planning
Medicaid planning is a crucial step for individuals and families seeking to qualify for Medicaid long-term care. With the costs of long-term care continually rising, proper planning is essential to protect your assets and ensure eligibility for Medicaid benefits. Our attorneys at Milvidskiy Law Group P.C. have the expertise and experience to navigate the rules and regulations of Medicaid in New Jersey and New York, providing tailored strategies to meet your specific needs.
Tools and Strategies for Medicaid Eligibility
Our approach to Medicaid planning involves a comprehensive analysis of your financial situation to identify the most effective tools and strategies for securing Medicaid eligibility. Here are some of the key methods utilized in Medicaid planning:
Asset Protection Trusts
By transferring assets into a trust, you can safeguard them from Medicaid eligibility limits, preserving them for future generations.
Income Trusts (Miller Trusts)
For individuals whose income exceeds the limit for Medicaid eligibility, a Miller Trust can redirect excess income to qualify for Medicaid benefits.
Gifting and Transfers
Strategic gifting and asset transfers must be carefully planned to avoid penalties, respecting Medicaid’s look-back period for eligibility.
Spousal Impoverishment Protections
We leverage spousal impoverishment rules to protect the non-applicant spouse’s income and assets, aiding the other spouse’s Medicaid qualification.
Personal Care Agreements (Caregiver Agreements)
These agreements formalize caregiving arrangements, allowing for compensation that aids in Medicaid eligibility.
Promissory Notes
In New York, a promissory note can be an effective tool in Medicaid planning, converting assets into a stream of income that can help meet Medicaid’s income and asset criteria. This strategy must be used carefully to comply with Medicaid regulations.
Medicaid Compliant Annuities
In New Jersey, these annuities are specially designed to convert otherwise countable assets into income, helping to achieve Medicaid eligibility without sacrificing all of your resources. They must be structured to comply with Medicaid’s strict guidelines to avoid penalties.
