How To Protect Assets And Quality Of Care
For many families, asset protection is aimed at preserving resources for an elderly loved one to obtain quality medical care and a dignified quality of life. A married senior who is facing the potential need for long-term care generally will have concerns about their spouse who continues to live independently in the community.
Asset protection serves a wide variety of important purposes, but the pitfalls are many if not conducted properly. At the Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., in Melbourne, Florida, we are committed to helping families protect property and qualify for vital government benefits.
We Listen To Our Clients And Guide Them Through All Available Options
We take pride in listening to our clients to understand the full scope of their concerns and goals. We will analyze your financial structure and explain your options to protect assets and avoid probate, when possible. You have worked hard over a lifetime and deserve to safeguard assets to provide for yourself, your spouse and your heirs while receiving health care with dignity. We are here to help you.
At the Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., in Melbourne, Florida, we are well-versed in the strict guidelines in both the Medicaid and VA contexts. It is critical that your lawyer understands your specific circumstances to tailor a plan to help you maintain as much control over assets and maximize government benefits.
A Tailored Plan To Protect Your Family
No two asset protection plans are the same. For instance, a Medicaid-compliant irrevocable trust will differ from a trust created to protect property under the VA Aid and Attendance rules for calculating net worth. In addition to trust instruments, we explore a wide variety of estate planning options to craft the plan best suited to your needs.
