Not only for the elderly, Long-Term Care Asset Protection (AKA Medicaid Planning) helps qualify for long term care benefits with need-based government benefits such as Medicaid through Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS).

We support people that require immediate needs-based benefits with emergency planning when there is an imminent or current need for needs-based benefits.

We also support proactive asset protection planning. Proactive planning is to prepare for the potential to draw on needs-based benefits before an emergency arises.

Asset protection planning helps minimize and potentially eliminate Medicaid estate recovery and long-term care spend down requirements.

Asset Protection includes ensuring the client has estate planning documents including Wills, Trusts, Health Care Power of Attorney, Mental Health Care Power of Attorney, and HIPAA Waivers that are drafted to ensure they allow actions to be taken to support Asset Protection. In other words, a narrowly drafted testate document may result in taking actions necessary to qualify for Medicaid to be more difficult, more costly, or delay the ability to qualify for needs-based benefits.
