The method is published
Our elder law practice runs on the Medicaid by Design method from Asset Protection by Design, Second Edition: identify what the law already protects, reposition what it does not, cure income-cap problems with the right trust, respect the five-year lookback, and file an application built to be approved. It works planning years ahead, and it works in a crisis — even after a hospital discharge, when Medicare’s rehabilitation days are running out.
Medicaid & Long-Term Care Planning
Pre-crisis design, crisis navigation, and complete application handling through approval — protecting the home, the healthy spouse, and the savings a lifetime built.
Care at Home & Assisted Living
Florida’s managed long-term care programs can pay for care outside the nursing home; we position families for those programs before the waiting list decides for them.
Guardianship & Incapacity
Durable powers of attorney, health care surrogates, and living wills that keep decisions in trusted hands — and measured guidance through guardianship when courts must be involved.
Special Needs Planning
Trusts that provide for a loved one with a disability without jeopardizing the government benefits they depend on.
Protection from Elder Exploitation
Decisive action where undue influence, financial abuse, or predatory schemes threaten an elder — and safeguards built before they can.
Veterans’ Benefit Awareness
For wartime veterans and surviving spouses, VA pension benefits can layer with the care plan; we make sure the question is always asked.
