Elder Law Survival Kit
The "survival kit" of a Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy should be in place for every person over the age of eighteen years. Additionally, it is important to have your financial records organized.
There are many approaches to asset protection.
- Outright gifts to family members or others.
- Transfers of homes with retained life estates.
- Transfers in trust including house trusts.
- Exempt transfers.
- Purchase of life estates.
- Medicaid application.
- Spousal refusal.
- Fair hearings
