How To Protect Your Family's Assets From Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (10th Edition) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Written by an elder law attorney with over 25 years of experience, this book will help anyone with a family member faced with a long-term stay in a nursing home who wishes to preserve at least some of their assets by qualifying for the Medicaid program. You don't have to be broke to qualify! For the first time ever, the inside secrets of high-priced estate planning and elder law attorneys are revealed. Includes a summary of all income and asset rules for both married and single individuals, together with numerous examples and several case studies, which take the reader through the same thought processes that an experienced elder law attorney would go through when analyzing a real-life client's situation. The book includes tips on: how to title your home so you do not lose it to the state; how to make transfers to family members that won't disqualify you from Medicaid; how annuities make assets "disappear"; smart tricks for "spending down" your assets; what to change in your will to save thousands of dollars if your spouse ever needs nursing home care; avoiding the state's reimbursement claim following the nursing home resident's death; and much more. The 2016 Tenth Edition has been expanded, revised, and completely updated to incorporate all changes in the law as of January 1, 2016, and includes two chapters on Veterans' benefits.

Book ReviewHow to Protect Your Family's Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid SecretsBy Gabriel Heiser, Esq.Medicaid is a vast federal bureaucratic healthcare system that operates on the federal, state and local levels. The federal government delegates considerable rule making authority and discretion to the individual states, which, in turn, delegate to individual counties their own regulation-making power. Added to this percolating brew is the reality that individual nursing homes make their own rules and policies for dealing with Medicaid recipients.Thus, legal practitioners, government officials and inquiring citizens are confronted with a regulation-intensive field of law and public health so labyrinthine that even Daedalus and Icarus would have to put attorneys on retainer to help them navigate through it.Gabriel Heiser is an attorney in Boulder, Colorado, specializing in Medicaid qualification matters as a sub-set of his practice in elder law. He has written How to Protect Your Family's Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets, a straight-forward concise volume that clarifies and simplifies the processes of analyzing Medicaid qualification and payment issues and crafting strategies for dealing with them in a cost-effective way in real-life situations.The book has a Table of Contents that is logically organized and indicates that the major components of the topic are thoroughly addressed. The Index illustrates the excellent organization of the book and makes it easy to reference back to specific concepts within the text.One aspect that I liked particularly was Heiser's detailed references in the text to material previously covered.
