Our dedicated Buffalo medicaid attorney discusses emergency medicaid planning and how it can help you protect your assets in the following educational video.
There is a method for preserving assets if a person has never done any prior Medicaid planning and finds him- or herself in a nursing home. This method is known as a promissory note, which allows the person preserve half of her or his assets so that only one-half the assets are used for nursing home care. This is a generally accepted principle that can be accomplished if one has a power of attorney with a statutory gift rider, or if a guardian is appointed. In either case, the court order may provide that this emergency Medicaid planning can be utilized to preserve your assets for the individual’s family.
