ASSET PROTECTION

After many years of hard work, sacrifice and saving for a successful financial future, most people look forward to an easy and stress-free retirement. However, many people do not consider the probability of needing costly long-term care, including needing to reside in a nursing home. According to the AARP, approximately 70% of Americans will need some type of long-term care, and nursing homes in New York cost around $12,000-$14,000 per month. Most people cannot afford over $150,000 per year per person. Worse yet is that so many never saw this expense coming and therefore suffer financial destruction.

There are very complicated rules about what assets can be protected, when, and how. One wrong move can jeopardize everything that you have. The law is also evolving and updates must be understood. Many people either have no idea, or wrong ideas, about what they should do to ensure that what they have stays with them and their heirs. The laws governing Medicaid-asset protection, the interplay with the 5-year look-back penalty period, and various exceptions to the rules requires an attorney with sophistication. Mr. Seidner teaches other attorneys.
