Medicaid planning involves structuring assets and income in a way that legally qualifies you for Medicaid benefits, means tested government program. Medicaid planning can preserve income and assets in your estate, which is particularly crucial for individuals who may require long-term care, as the cost of nursing homes and in-home care can quickly deplete savings.

In New York, the rules surrounding Medicaid eligibility are complex due to strict income and asset limits, as well as frequent changes in state regulations that can impact qualification criteria. Many are unaware of the legal strategies available to help protect their assets while securing benefits.

• Understand and meet eligibility requirements
• Protect your savings and assets from being depleted by long-term care costs
