What is a Medicaid Planning Attorney

Medicaid planning services are the legal process of restructuring income and assets to qualify for long- term care benefits – while protecting your family’s financial security. Without planning, many families believe they must spend everything before qualifying. With proper guidance, that’s simply not true.

Our goal is to help you qualify for care benefits, preserve your home, and secure your family’s
future.

Pre-Planning vs. Crisis Planning

Pre-planning

Pre-Planning (Early Planning): Proactive strategies implemented years before care is needed. This approach avoids emergency stress and high costs, preserves assets from Medicaid recovery, and provides long-term security.

Tools & Strategies

Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT): Shelters assets while allowing continued use or residence.
Spousal Transfers & Allowances: Protects the healthy spouse’s independence.
Personal Services Contracts: Allows family caregivers to be compensated legally.
Tax & Gifting Coordination: Aligns Medicaid planning with estate tax efficiency.

Crisis Planning

Crisis (Emergency) Planning: For families facing immediate nursing home or care costs. Strategies include rapid eligibility solutions, emergency trusts, and spousal transfers to preserve remaining assets.

Tools & Strategies

Miller Trust (Qualified Income Trust): Manages excess income to maintain eligibility.
Targeted Spend-Down: Converts assets to approved expenses instead of losing them.
Emergency Spousal Allocations: Protects the non-applicant spouse immediately.
Last-Minute Trusts & Designations: Rapid legal steps to reduce exposure and qualify faster.

I visited Frank Vasallo to do my will, trust and power of attorney. He dedicated all the time necessary to explain to me, in full detail, the difference between a will and I trust. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. This is something I wanted to do for several years, but had not found the right attorney. He presented me with a beautifully, organized three ring, binder and tabs. I referred my family to him to do the same. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much for the great service and phenomenal work.
