About How To Protect Your Family's Assets From
Product Description NOTE: The 2020 edition of this book is now available! Be sure to purchase this more up-to-date edition. (search for "ISBN 9781941123119") Written by an elder law attorney with over 25 years of experience, this book will help anyone with a family member faced with a long-term stay in a nursing home who wishes to preserve at least some of their assets by qualifying for the Medicaid program. You don't have to be broke to qualify! For the first time ever, the inside secrets of high-priced estate planning and elder law attorneys are revealed. Includes a summary of all income and asset rules for both married and single individuals, together with numerous examples and several case studies, which take the reader through the same thought processes that an experienced elder law attorney would go through when analyzing a real-life client's situation. The book includes tips on: how to title your home so you do not lose it to the state; how to make transfers to family members that won't disqualify you from Medicaid; how annuities make assets "disappear"; smart tricks for "spending down" your assets; what to change in your will to save thousands of dollars if your spouse ever needs nursing home care; avoiding the state's reimbursement claim following the nursing home resident's death; and much more. The 2017 Eleventh Edition has been revised and completely updated to incorporate all changes in the law as of January 1, 2017, and includes two chapters on Veterans' benefits. Review "' The most detailed, plain-English guide I've found to the rules so far is called 'How to Protect Your Family's Assets From Devastating Nursing Home Costs.'"--Ron Lieber, NY Times article ("Plan on Growing Old? Then the Medicaid Debate Affects You"), July 1, 2017, also posted on MSN.com. "I loved your book!" "I found so many concepts, strategies and important questions to consider that I am going to re-read it again tonight to write them all down. The maze of ever-changing rules and differences between states (and even counties) can be overwhelming, but I felt that Medicaid Secrets armed me with specific questions to ask--questions that would help me understand the various viable options (and their risks and pitfalls) that a qualified ElderCare Attorney might suggest. (Heck! You even showed me how to find a qualified ElderCare Attorney!)" --Bret Elliott, Certified Financial Planner I suppose one could debate whether there truly are Medicaid "secrets," or whether information buried in a maze of bureaucratic language (based on federal law and implemented in significantly different ways by each of the fifty states, and then implemented at the local level by individual clerks) really is in plain sight for all to see. Regardless, Heiser clearly has poured his considerable expertise and his years of practical experience into the publication of a book that I believe practitioners and clients will find extremely useful. So, what previously may have been "secrets" about benefits under the Medicaid system have been made available to all." --Reviewed by Kenneth W. Schroer for The Colorado Lawyer, an official publication of the Colorado Bar Association Here are the reviews of the 9th edition on Amazon.com; the 10th edition is an updated version: 5 STARS: This book has great information on Medicaid benefits and how to protect your ...
