Contact Doug Koenig Law for Long Term Planning:

Planning is important.

It isn't just when you are in crisis... in fact, planning avoids crises. Studies have shown that people who are prepared for the future, and for long term care in particular, are less likely to need Medicaid. So, while we sometimes refer to this planning as Medicaid Planning, it might be better to call it "Anti-Medicaid Planning"! Here are some questions you should be asking in planning:

What is a main benefit of planning my affairs now rather than later?

Peace of Mind.

Many people spend a lot of time worrying about what is going to happen if they die or become incapacitated or go to a nursing home.

Those who plan now have the peace of mind knowing that if something happens to them everything has already been taken care of. Don't spend the next several years worrying and "hoping" things will work out. Do your planning now and "know" that things will work out "exactly as you planned them". Don't leave your family and life's savings to chance. Plan now and protect your family, loved ones and hard earned assets from the devastating effects of Long Term Care, Probate, Guardianships and the uncertainties of life.

What can I plan?

You can plan how to transfer assets to your family and even to your grandchildren. you can plan to reduce the effects of gift and estate taxes. You can plan for benefits to charities that can help you while you are alive.

Many things can be planned ... if you plan!

Does planning help me avoid long term care in a nursing home?

YES!

That is possibly the greatest benefit ... while that cannot be guaranteed, of course, proper planning ahead can significantly improve the chances that you will be in control of your care. And it can help avoid the possibility that your kids would have to spend all of your money and theirs too in your support.

Life Happens.

Plan now and get that "Peace of Mind" you deserve.
