Strategic Medicaid Planning and Senior Asset Protection
The staggering costs of nursing homes and long-term care facilities can quickly drain a lifetime of family savings. Stephen Keogh specializes in strategic Medicaid planning and senior asset protection, helping elderly clients qualify for Medicaid Title XIX benefits while safeguarding their homes and hard-earned wealth. We analyze your asset structure, set up legally compliant irrevocable trusts, and draft structured gifting agreements. Our proactive planning ensures that your loved ones receive high-quality care without compromising their financial legacy or independence.
Comprehensive Estate, Will, and Trust Planning
An effective estate plan goes beyond merely distributing property; it protects your personal autonomy in the event of cognitive or physical decline. We work closely with clients to draft customized estate planning instruments, including simple and complex wills, revocable living trusts, durable power of attorney forms, and healthcare directives. By preparing these essential documents, we help clients avoid expensive federal and state estate taxes, bypass the public probate process, and clearly define healthcare agents to manage medical decisions when needed.
Compassionate Probate, Conservatorship, and Guardianship Support
When an individual passes away, or when a senior becomes unable to manage their personal affairs due to dementia or illness, families must often turn to the Connecticut probate courts. Keogh.Law provides supportive, detail-oriented probate administration services, assisting executors with asset inventory, tax filings, and estate distributions. Additionally, we represent families in complex conservatorship and guardianship proceedings, protecting the dignity and legal rights of vulnerable individuals while ensuring they receive appropriate, structured care.
