Medicaid planning to protect your assets can be complex.  Strict eligibility guidelines for income and assets must be met.  Our attorney, Dennis M. Twigg, who is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, can provide you with sound advice regarding these guidelines.  This includes the time period during which your assets, income, and transfers will be scrutinized (the “look-back period”) and whether any of your assets may be considered exempt.  It is crucial to plan for this scenario years in advance of any application.
