Long-term care is one of the largest financial risks many families face, and Medicaid eligibility rules are detailed and unforgiving of missteps. KSJ helps clients build asset protection strategies well ahead of a care need, and helps families already facing a long-term care situation work through the qualification process and the eligibility compliance that follows.

Because Medicaid rules intersect closely with estate planning — asset transfers, trusts, and spousal protections all play a role — we coordinate Medicaid planning with a client's broader estate plan rather than treating it as a separate track.

We advise on:

  • Medicaid eligibility planning and asset protection strategies
  • Medicaid applications and qualification
  • Spousal impoverishment protections
  • Ongoing eligibility compliance and redeterminations
  • Coordination with trusts and estate planning
