“Medicaid planning is talking to individuals about nursing home care.
Medicaid will pay for nursing home care if an individual is a certain age
and if they are disabled. So we talk to clients about how to get
individuals qualified for Medicaid. We look at their financial situation.
We make recommendations about how to spend down their assets appropriately.
They may need trusts set up. There is a lot of planning tools that we can
use to help get them qualified for Medicaid quicker than they would be able
to on their own and with less hiccups.”

The Gainesville Medicaid Planning Lawyers at Miller & Brasington are experienced professionals that work with individuals to quickly and properly get them qualified for Medicaid.

“What this certification does for us as a practice is we have set a
different standard for ourselves. I have decided that I need to be that
person that can manage any elder law issue that comes through the door. And
by going through the training and the process of becoming certified in
elder law, that has prepared me for all aspects of our senior population
that come to see us.

If they have a question about Medicaid planning, but they also have a loved
one who just left them an estate and what do they do with the probate
proceeds, and then if there is a litigation matter that comes up, we can
help them with all of those issues. If somebody requires a guardianship and
then later on we need to get them qualified for Medicaid, we offer that
full range of services to seniors. So we can take them all the way from
very young, some of our clients are younger when they do their estate
plans. They just do a simple will to set up a plan for their children if
they should die. Later on that may be a client who has a spouse with
Parkinson’s disease. So now, all of a sudden, we are helping them with a
special needs issue. It may be that that person then dies. Then we can help
them with their probate matter.

So our practice is service oriented to help people through the entire
process of building your estate, helping you with asset protection at
times, helping you with medical and legal problems that can arise when
someone is getting older in age or who has special needs, and then really
helping them through the process of even losing a loved one or helping for
end of life decision making.”
