FAQs

Is it too late to plan if a loved one is already in a nursing home?

No. Crisis planning can still preserve a portion of assets.

Can Medicaid take my home in Kansas?

Not if proper planning is done using trusts and spousal protections.

How long is the Medicaid look-back period?

Five years. Transfers within this window may result in penalties.

Why use a trust instead of beneficiary designations?

Trusts provide asset protection, flexibility, and continuity—beneficiary designations do not.
