Strategic Elder Law and Medicaid Asset Protection

• Medicaid pre-planning: Implementing irrevocable Medicaid asset protection trusts to shield family residences, lake cottages, and liquid assets well ahead of the New York five-year look-back window.
• Crisis nursing home planning: Assisting families whose loved ones are already admitted to care facilities, utilizing emergency legal strategies to preserve substantial assets.
• Medicaid applications and appeals: Guiding clients through every phase of the complex Medicaid application process, fair hearings, and appeals of improper coverage denials.
• Article 81 guardianships: Serving as legal counsel in court proceedings to appoint responsible legal guardians for vulnerable or incapacitated adults.

Comprehensive Wills, Trusts, and Estate Administration

Protecting family legacies involves drafting precise legal instruments tailored to your family's unique dynamics. Our practice covers every component of legacy and lifetime planning:

• Custom wills and revocable trusts: Designing flexible living trust blueprints that maintain lifetime privacy, minimize family conflict, and bypass Surrogate's Court probate proceedings.
• Special needs trusts: Creating third-party and first-party supplemental needs trusts to enrich the quality of life for loved ones with disabilities without disrupting public assistance.
• Powers of attorney and healthcare proxies: Appointing reliable agents to oversee financial affairs and implement medical directives when you cannot speak for yourself.
