Medicaid planning is the process of arranging assets and income to meet Wisconsin’s eligibility rules for long-term care. It can help protect a surviving spouse and preserve resources for family members. Our team explains the rules, timelines, and steps, so you can make informed decisions that align with your goals.
Medicaid does help with long-term care costs, including nursing home services and some home-based care, depending on eligibility. The level of coverage and whether home care is included depends on medical need and state programs.
Transfers of assets can affect when you become eligible for Medicaid; gifting large amounts can trigger penalties. We help plan transfers to time them appropriately and stay within the rules.
Spousal protections exist to help protect the community spouse’s income and assets when the other spouse receives long-term care benefits. We explain how these protections apply to your situation.
A trust can be a part of a Medicaid plan, but whether it is needed depends on your assets, goals, and Wisconsin rules. We review options and help determine if a trust is beneficial.
Processing times vary based on health status, paperwork, and program review cycles. We work to move the process forward efficiently and keep you informed.
Fees for Medicaid planning depend on case complexity and services provided. We offer transparent estimates upfront so you know what to expect.
We assist clients in Wisconsin; for residents in other states, we can coordinate with local counsel to support your planning needs.
Bring identification, recent financial statements, asset records, lists of real estate and retirement accounts, and any existing powers of attorney or advance directives.
To start, contact us for a confidential consultation. We’ll outline the steps, gather documents, and explain the options to help you choose a plan.
