When Should I Begin the Medicaid Planning Process
We recommend starting the Medicaid planning process as early as possible. Planning ahead allows you to protect your assets and ensure a smoother path when applying for benefits. Many people think about Medicaid only when a loved one faces immediate health care needs, but early preparation can make a big difference. This process often involves structuring finances, setting up trusts, and understanding the rules that affect eligibility. Medicaid has strict look-back periods, which can penalize asset transfers made within a certain timeframe. By planning ahead, you reduce the risk of penalties and improve your chances of qualifying without financial setbacks. Even if you’re already facing long-term care concerns, we can help find legal solutions to make the process easier.
