How We Help Liberal Families

  • Medicaid (KanCare) Planning: Qualify for benefits while preserving assets.

  • Spousal Protections: Safeguard resources for the healthy spouse still at home.

  • Asset Protection Trusts: Shield property and accounts from long-term care costs.

  • Crisis Planning: Even if care is already needed, we may still be able to save part of your estate.

Why Trusts Are the Foundation of Care Planning

A revocable living trust provides more than inheritance planning:

  • Smooth asset management during incapacity.

  • Probate avoidance for family peace of mind.

  • Sub-trusts for children to protect inheritances against divorce, lawsuits, or bankruptcy.

Can Medicaid take my house?
