Austin Medicaid

One of the most difficult times a person will face is the placement of a loved one in a nursing home. This is often not only an emotional hurdle, but a financial one as well. Many people work hard and save for their retirement for years, only to deplete their savings paying for their long-term care or the care of a loved one.

Too often people do not fully understand the complicated rules of Medicaid, and they rely too heavily on advice from family and friends. Although well-intended, this misinformation can lead to the denial of benefits or penalties that could end up costing you your life’s savings. Livens & Reed, PLLC provides competent guidance and planning so these pitfalls can be avoided, assuring eligibility and alleviating financial stress. Working with an experienced Austin and Dallas Medicaid lawyer can help you avoid giving away your assets too early, ignoring important safe harbors created by Congress, or applying too early or too late.
