Why You Need an Elder Law Attorney — Not Just an Estate Planning Attorney
Elder law is a specialty. Medicaid has a 5-year lookback rule. A general estate planning attorney can cost you hundreds of thousands in assets if they get the planning wrong.
The 5-Year Lookback
Medicaid reviews all asset transfers in the 5 years before your application. Every day without a plan can mean a month of ineligibility. Time is the enemy.
Asset Protection at Stake
A Medicaid crisis plan done right can protect $100,000–$500,000 in assets from spend-down. One good attorney pays for their fee thousands of times over.
Specialty Training Matters
Look for NAELA members and CELA-certified attorneys. CELA is the ABA-recognized gold standard — only ~500 attorneys hold it nationwide.
