Preserving Assets with a Power of Attorney

Experienced Buffalo elder law lawyers outline the importance of a power of attorney and how it can help you preserve your assets and protect your legacy in this educational video.
The New York power of attorney (POA) is one of the most important planning devices for nursing home Medicaid planning. I strongly recommend that all my clients have a POA, including the statutory gift rider. The POA itself only authorizes gifts for up to $500 per year, but my clients can also sign a statutory gift rider that would allow them to make gifts and do other Medicaid planning. This is especially necessary if my clients need to do emergency Medicaid planning where you can preserve half of your assets with a gift rider.
