Elder Law And Medicaid Planning
Medicaid Planning Attorneys in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
One of the primary goals of elder law is to help seniors find ways to pay for expensive long-term care. We don’t want to alarm you, but consider the following statistics:
• Nearly three out of every four people over the age of 65 will require long-term care at some point in their lives.
• The median cost of nursing home care in South Dakota for a private room was more than $82,000. In certain situations, nursing home care costs considerably more, and costs are expected to rise dramatically in the future.
• Many families exhaust their life savings within a year or two of a family member entering a nursing home.
At Legacy Law Firm, we can design a plan in advance to protect your assets in the event you or a loved one requires long-term care in the future. In addition, we can help you overcome what is known as a Medicaid planning crisis situation.
Elder law is complex, so having an elder law attorney who stays on top of the constantly evolving federal and state laws is essential. Our elder law attorneys help seniors and their families preserve independence, family assets and avoid spousal hardship. Protecting your values, your family, and your life savings is at the heart of what our elder law attorneys do.
