Our goal as Michigan Elder Care Practitioners is to effectively assist in long term care planning prior to any crisis situation. This can entail the execution of a Trust with a pour over will, a Power of Attorney, Designation of Patient Advocate, and a Quit Claim deed. Depending on the situation and time frame, it could include the moving of certain assets to various types of Medicaid Quantifiable trusts. To effectively assist those in crisis by maximizing their asset base to their benefit and preventing the unnecessary and wasteful spending tactics that most nursing homes and social workers will recommend. Mental Note: You would not go to the IRS to have your taxes done….. don’t go to the people that would most benefit (nursing homes and DHS) for advice on long term care planning.
