Protect Your Assets with a Medicaid Planning Attorney in Coral Springs, FL
The Cost of Long-term Care in Florida is Staggering
The average cost for skilled nursing care in Florida is around $10,652 per month for a semi-private room and $11,905 per month for a private room, while the estimated median cost of assisted living in Florida in 2025 is $73,548 per year (Source: SeniorLiving.org). Most families risk quickly draining their life savings without a solid plan. For many seniors, Medicaid is the only viable option to cover these expenses. However, the program's strict eligibility requirements - including a limit of just $2,000 in countable assets for an individual - can be a major hurdle.

How Strategic Medicaid Planning Works
There are two main approaches to Medicaid planning, depending on your situation:
- Long-Term Care Planning: This is the proactive approach, ideal when there is no immediate need for Medicaid. By starting early, we can implement a comprehensive strategy that protects your assets and sets you up for future eligibility, well before care becomes necessary.
- Crisis Planning: This is for situations where a person needs Medicaid benefits immediately, such as facing imminent placement in an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. In these cases, we act quickly to structure your assets to meet eligibility requirements without a significant spend-down of your resources.
About Our Medicaid Planning Process
Our process is designed to be clear and collaborative, following these steps:
- Initial Consultation: We start by listening to your unique situation. We'll assess your needs, explain the different public benefit programs, and discuss the planning process in detail to answer all your questions.
- Creating Your Asset Protection Plan: We will prepare a customized, written plan that outlines your specific options for qualifying for Medicaid while safeguarding as many of your assets as possible. We’ll walk you through each strategy, from creating trusts to restructuring finances, so you can make an informed decision.
- Implementing the Plan: Once you've chosen your path, our firm will handle the implementation. This may involve drafting legal documents such as Qualified Income Trusts (QITs), powers of attorney, and deeds, or overseeing transfers and other financial arrangements. Every situation is unique, and our approach is always tailored to you.
- Overseeing the Medicaid Application: We will coordinate with your doctors, care facilities, and other professionals to ensure your application is submitted correctly and on time, aiming for the smoothest possible approval process.
Common Questions About Medicaid Planning
We are here to answer your questions during an initial consultation, but here are some of the most common inquiries we receive:
Can I protect all of my assets?
No attorney can ethically guarantee a specific outcome. As your Medicaid Planning Attorney in Coral Springs, FL, we will be upfront about which assets can be protected and which may need to be used for care before you become eligible for Medicaid. Our goal is to provide you with the best available options so you can choose the strategy that best fits your needs. Be wary of anyone who promises "guaranteed" or "100%" asset protection.
How much do your services cost?
Our Medicaid planning services are provided on a flat-fee basis, so you never have to worry about unexpected hourly billing or surprise charges. Our fees are based on a transparent schedule, not on the value of your assets. The fee for the initial consultation is also a flat rate and is credited toward the cost of your full planning services.
