As an experienced Rochester Elder Law Attorney, people often ask me about emergency Medicaid planning. Emergencies can happen unexpectedly, and often have serious impacts on peoples lives. It’s important that your loved ones are properly prepared for any of life’s uncertainties. Emergency Medicaid planning can be initiated if you have the proper statutory gift rider on your power of attorney, or if it’s authorized through guardianship proceedings. This enables you to preserve half of your assets, even though you are already in a nursing home.
