How We Can Help

Estate Planning With a Focus On Medicaid Eligibility

The earlier you plan, the more options you have to protect assets and keep them in the family, but it’s never too late. Our attorneys handle all aspects of elder law, including estate planning with wills, trusts, and powers of attorney; Medicaid and VA benefits planning; long-term care insurance selection; and special-needs trusts for those with mental incapacity. We guide clients through preserving assets while ensuring eligibility for care and government benefits. A true elder law attorney understands the interplay between these legal issues. We can advise on federal program eligibility, allowable gifting of assets, Miller and supplemental needs trusts, and estate tax planning and make it all work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Livens & Reed to create a Supplemental Needs Trust for our adult special needs daughter, to ensure her financial needs were met but also done in a way to not disqualify her for Texas Medicaid benefits she currently receives.  Shawn Crawford was excellent, along with Caleigh and Angie:  very thorough, explaining every aspect and legalese in layman's terms, in a timely manner and what we thought was a very reasonable fee.  We also consulted with Chad Reed on our aging parent's needs and what steps we might follow to have them qualify for Medicaid, when the time and need arises. Very friendly, spent all the time we needed with us during our free consultation.  Highly recommend this law firm for anyone considering Trusts, Medicaid qualifications, and elder care.  Thank you Livens & Reed!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The legal team at Livens & Reed has proved to be nothing short of exceptional.  From Chad Reed, Nicole Landrum and finally, today, Shawn Crawford.  Talking about a dream team, I feel very fortunate and comforted knowing I have the right people on my side.  Thank you for your warmth and professionalism!  It’s reassuring to know our legal needs are in great hands.  If I could rate higher than 5 stars I absolutely would.
