Description: With long-term care costs soaring above $12,000 per month, middle-class Americans face significant financial challenges in securing nursing home care. For most families, Medicaid remains the primary funding source, as only a small percentage can afford long-term care insurance – and even then, coverage may fall short. This comprehensive class equips attorneys with a strong foundation in Medicaid asset protection, a critical area for serving seniors and their families. Our distinguished speaker covers the following topics and more:
- Core Medicaid asset protection concepts – Key principles and legal strategies to preserve assets while planning for long-term care
- Eligibility and timing – Techniques to facilitate earlier Medicaid eligibility through strategic asset management
- D.C., Maryland, and Virginia-specific strategies – Jurisdictional approaches tailored to asset protection laws in the D.C. metropolitan area
- Client-centered planning – Ways to safeguard client assets for family inheritance or future use
Ideal for estate planning and elder law attorneys, this class provides practical tools to help clients navigate Medicaid rules, protect family wealth, and access essential care without financial hardship.
