Estate Planning

- Health care proxies

Medicaid Planning
One of the critical elements of planning for the future can be Medicaid planning. Medicaid is a critical program for many people as they face the possibility of the extreme costs of nursing homes. Determining your eligibility for Medicaid can be difficult to do without the experienced guidance of an attorney who understands the Medicaid laws and the application process.
Medicaid will look back at five years of your finances in minute detail when you apply. Medicaid requires that you have limited assets and income to qualify. We can help you appropriately spend down your assets through controlled spending and permissible gifts while avoiding missteps that will interfere with your Medicaid application.
Guston & Guston also has experienced counsel certified to assist you with applications for Veterans Administration benefits.
