Protecting Assets and Ensuring Medicaid Eligibility

In order to qualify for Medicaid, an individual must meet certain qualifications. There are many tools that can help individuals meet these qualifications. Among these tools are supplemental needs trusts and property transfers. When planning for Medicaid eligibility, the best results are usually achieved with long-term planning. However, the elder law attorneys of Jacobowitz & Gubits, LLP can also help families and individuals achieve Medicaid eligibility over a more immediate time frame.

Dedicated Representation in Guardianship Proceedings

Guardianships can be necessary to handle the affairs of a person who is unable to handle his or her own affairs or protect a vulnerable person from exploitation. Court approval is necessary to establish a guardianship. Our law firm has substantial experience preparing guardianship petitions and presenting them before the appropriate court. Our experience in this complex aspect of estate planning also includes defending individuals who do not believe a guardianship is necessary.
