Long-term care planning is a proactive process to prepare for future care needs, including who will make decisions, where care will be provided, and how costs will be managed. It often involves creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and guardianship documents tailored to Wisconsin law. The goal is to minimize uncertainty for loved ones while ensuring your preferences are respected.
A well-structured revocable living trust can work with a will to manage assets during incapacity and at death. Assets placed in a trust may avoid probate and help coordinate care arrangements, while a will may address remaining items not funded into the trust.
Asset-protection strategies include careful gifting, informed use of Medicaid considerations, and properly funded trusts designed to shield resources while preserving access to funds for care and heirs.
Bring identification, a list of current assets and debts, any existing wills or trusts, deed information, and any questions you want to ask. We’ll use this information to tailor a plan.
Wisconsin law governs Medicaid planning, including eligibility rules and asset transfer rules. We explain how these rules affect your plan and help you pursue options that align with your goals.
We recommend reviewing your plan at least annually or after major life events such as marriage, birth, illness, or a change in financial situation.
A durable power of attorney is a legal document that lets someone you trust handle financial and legal matters on your behalf if you become unable to do so. It remains in effect even if you later become incapacitated.
Tax considerations vary; estate plans may include tax planning elements. We explain potential impacts and help you structure documents to address taxes while meeting your goals.
Decisions about guardianship should consider the best interests of the person requiring care. This generally involves appointing a trusted family member or friend, with the court overseeing the arrangement.
