Obtaining Quality Care - Protecting Your Assets
Nancy L. Stone, JD, MPH, Attorney at Law assists clients in the Houston, Texas area with obtaining quality home care and nursing home care through Medicaid planning techniques. The prospect of spending down assets accumulated over a lifetime of work creates a substantial hardship for all nursing home residents and those who require in-home care to remain in the community. This hardship is also felt by the spouse of a nursing home resident who is counting on those resources to sustain himself or herself in retirement.
We can assist you with developing a plan to legally protect your assets and qualify for Medicaid benefits. Our services encompass advice about spend-down strategies that work, creating Miller Trusts, obtaining a qualified domestic relations order to transfer income, drafting marital property agreements to transfer property between spouses, utilizing spousal impoverishment protections to preserve a couple's assets, drafting enhanced life estate deeds to avoid Estate Recovery, and completing and submitting Medicaid applications, as well as representation in Medicaid appeals.
Attorney Nancy Stone, has over 15 years experience in health law and policy, public health, and elder care issues, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. She has the knowledge and experience needed to obtain your legal goals and protect your financial assets in the process. Contact us at 713-425-4936 to schedule a free initial consultation.
