Experienced Medicaid Planning Lawyers

Long-term care can be expensive, costing up to $15,000 a month for some nursing homes. As such, Medicaid planning is essential to protect your assets and prevent financial ruin as a result of long-term medical care.

It is important that you act proactively, putting in place a care plan before a crisis presents itself. Medicaid planning can include a variety of different steps to rearrange your assets and keep them from being considered for Medicaid purposes, including irrevocable trusts. We can help you determine what type of trust is right for your personal financial situation.

If you would like help seeking benefits, call our Atlanta elder law attorney at (770) 212-2181.

Attorney Geerdes is a very accomplished professional. She is more knowledgeable about the legal implications of estate issues, asset protection and trusts and wills than any other estate attorneys I have talked to. We have two attorneys in our family and they recommend attorney Geerdes. I would recommend her to anyone! - Donald
