MEDICAID PLANNING & ELIGIBILITY
Barbara Buxton focuses on Medicaid planning and estate planning techniques to assist you in obtaining Medicaid benefits before you needlessly spend your life savings to pay for nursing care. It is never too early to plan your Florida Medicaid program qualification.
Many individuals fail to plan for the payment of long-term health care. Then, at some point in their lives, they find that they need nursing home care or in-home care but cannot afford it or don't want to use up all their hard earned money to pay for it.
Barbara Buxton will assist you and your family in preserving as much of your assets as is legally possible. She can prepare and file your Medicaid application, along with preparation and the funding of a revocable trust for your spouse. She will review all your assets and suggest preservation options that are tailored to your specific situation.
