“In the wild, animals will fight to the death to protect their loved ones. In today’s society, families can end up in medical crisis that can like a fight that as vicious as these creatures protecting their families. If you feel that you or a loved one may need Skilled Nursing home care in the next 5 years, you must call an experienced Elder Law firm to review your estate planning documents and to understand your options to get qualified for Medi-Cal…. IN CASE you (or loved one) need nursing home care in the future. Estate planning documents generally plan for death but not protecting asset when you need long term care in a skilled nursing home.
We get call every day from a person that has a parent that has lost all capacity and their existing estate planning documents do not allow the agent to move assets so their loved one can qualify for Medi-CAL to help pay for nursing home care ($8,000 to $35,000 a month). I want to shout from the roof tops… BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE TO SIGN A NEW POWER OF ATTORNEY… GET YOURS REVIEWED BY AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY. This can save your parents life savings and family home. Estate Planning Attorney provide documents that plan for your death and your final wishes. Elder Law Attorneys plan for your death and your final wishes but more importantly plans to protect your assets in case you become incapacitated and need 24/7 nursing home care. I get very frustrated when there is not much we can do because the ill person does not have capacity and does not have the proper estate documents to allow their agent to move assets into an Irrevocable Trust so they can qualify for Medi-Cal assistance.
If you do not know if your clients or family are covered in case of 24/7 care needs, you need to see an seasoned Elder Law Firm to make sure you and your loved ones have options before it is too late. We are happy to provide free consultation and review of current estate documents. Call (818)241-4238 www.la-lawcenter.com
